Ear willowherbs    
the hogweed lashed the air    
with feigned commiseration.        
 
Subject to fine parts    
the backheel was heard    
on the edge of the wood of Saint Amand.        
 
Pouring the Lethe    
on her brown skin    
the scales pulsed    
a fragrant rant    
than the wrinkled sheets    
could not contain    
that by sowing the company    
with a medium-range laugh    
in the overheated attic    
by an overcast sun    
regular swigs    
out of reach of children.        
 
My mother was in the meadow    
my father with her    
and my sister    
knowledgeable thurifer    
let pass    
her long alabaster arms    
through the first floor window.        
 
The world was falling apart    
such house of cards.

thousand points of fir    
on the cornice    
of a crow in the tall grass    
close to the four-legged man.        
 
Fragile raindrops    
the wind bending the birches    
makes heard with its smoothed breath    
cheeky swallow chords.        
 
Adorns itself with words and petals    
the large table prepared    
tonight of raucous party    
where the hands scattered.        
 
Azure Arrow    
with white blackbird    
she was strapped in leather    
the night during.        
 
She jumped with ease    
hooded with a black mantilla    
on the front of the monastery    
carriage door cleared.        
 
mustering their ships    
they reached the high seas    
cool seasons    
cheap slaves.

The blue truck    
opening the way    
count the larches    
as long as the torrent carries    
the sound of the wind in its current.        
 
Incessant song of the water    
below    
to the branches deposited on the banks    
of rocks, pebbles    
to infinity.        
 
do not harm anyone    
those fireflies with such a sweet name    
than a light flight    
put on the flower    
des prairies d'altitude.        
 
Elevation to self-growth    
on the evening of the tests    
shadowed by a great black wing    
the petty derelicts    
on the periphery of fear.        
 
love lodges    
in the crevice of the stone    
whose veins 
spirit channel 
are colored by the cry of the groundhog.

strange conversation
to which I was invited
to participate.
 
The piece of"clay was fossilized
which contained words
formerly purged of our codes.
 
The stylus had imposed itself
harsh mother of our expectations
as antennae of the spirit.
 
The cracks fit together
such hazardous deficiencies deposited there
without the step hurrying.
 
The fingers vibrated jerkily
hard-fought battle
the organs contained.
 
Return
the ground crumbled
by discovering its moon features.
 
Marked with the seal of suspicion
the runes let appear
the order disappeared.
 
Pass-pierre in his presence
thumb and forefinger
the strainer of the links.
 
Are you still coming
with your precious gaze
tell me the alpha and the omega ?        
 
Of an origin seized
with finesse and courtesy
I was caught at the neck of the night
of an evening attraction
for the white peaks of the mountain.

 Walk for the dawn    
get lost in the shipwreck of instincts    
this is the dilemma    
lips offered to whoever will take them    
off the sheets 
bend over    
towards the beloved of the meadows    
    the ladybug    
mirabelle plum    
of the church bell    
calling for the urgency of prayer    
without obligation    
without intention    
the fruit hanging from the silky leaf    
chirping dipper    
on the shivering water    
watch for the shudder    
maple    
visage sage    
of the sensitive quest    
singular reason    
of peace and joy    
bistort knotweed    
spelled    
nightly languidly    
towards this slender hand    
towards this outstretched hand    
delivered    
in the rich hours    
white finery    
contained    
closer to the heart.

boar muse    
of his hooves

she folded up her finery    
measuring    
oh how    
of time and space    
it should    
to snail    
eye to eye    
the straw and the beam    
rich hay    
for the meeting.

 Marmotte margoton

wisely    
against the rail    
prone flower    
trimmings    
to dispense with the superfluous    
out of the flow of the Nebbia    
properly decked out    
of this bushy coulter    
in dry dock    
carelessly stored away    
thanks to the wind    
painting the quicksilver   
on the pebble of the Guil.

Puisommiere    
was his name    
to chip stones    
of his hammer    
before laying    
on the horizontal bed    
from the wall to the creusoise    
let the weather be warm    
wind or rain    
his fingers hardened    
by the pain endured    
to be far from one's own.        
 
With veins of granite    
overcoming physical pain    
her eyes were veiled    
dust and tears    
you the railwayman    
who from site to site    
dragged his misery    
a bottle of red in the haversack    
the cap congealed with sweat    
the already white beard    
in the light of an evening    
to laugh in front of the fire    
that the young people had prepared.

Face twirl
at the tympanum of the porch
they dismantled the scaffolding
brought the cartage
with scabby oxen 
hail the shepherds
leaning on their gnarled sticks
picked up the dead wood
for the fire
insider business
hatched
to the song of the stream
than the mountain
with wooded sides
evacuated in strong winds
supporting from the front
the windows
strange defense
with blood mixed with honey
that the storm could not surround
without the angels beating the bell
without the hullabaloo
glacial meltwater
abbreviated signature
at the bottom of the edit
snatched with both hands
without mincing words
drip
of an unchanged conversation.

Beast's Hoarse Breath
free fall
the rock rolled down
in a noise of crushed trees
at the bottom of the valley
up to the torrent of adjustments.
 
The fir trees showed
the flesh breaking away from the bones
jaws crack
eyes bulge
at the end of winter
in the arms of the madly married couple
rough shells
breastplate showing the scapular
ephemeral mandrake
out of the way
erasing the traces of the past.
 
Roaring
the beast entered the stadium
flame reaching up to the sky
treading the hot coals of unreason
at the end of summer
where usually
a bundle of dead wood
ensured the work
of renewed vitality.
