the antennae of the earthly brother

   From her lips she haunted the chewing of intentions,   
A breath came,
From superficial, his teeth reflected,
at the entrance to the temple, the peristyle of white souls.

Filed away the nameless ones of hatred,
curled up under the antennae of the earth brother.
may we, passengers of oblivion, scrape our last bones, to the rhythm of the mirlitons of childhood.

The Great Game strengthens our past,
bringing together the frescoes of our wanderings,
obligatory passage,
where to plant the eruptive organ,
outside the periphery of our illusions.

In the depths of the night
the moon hemmed the mountain,
dark side beneath the receptacle of our expectations,
and everything was returned.

In the shade during the heat wave

   to the ombre, in heat wave
open to uplifting thoughts
open up to the fevers of novelty
open up to the bells of the herd
open up to the Sunday meal
open up to family photography
open the creaking gate
open to the cat's meows.

to the ombre
in heat wave,
know how to ripen without withering
know how to receive the word that comes
knowing how to give a voice to whoever is there
know how to fill the eyes with light
know how to smile at who smiles
know how to almost smile at who does not smile
know how to keep against one's heart the precious
of the meeting.

to the ombre,
in heat wave,
fill with benevolence the brushing of the living
fill the tiredness of the moment with a siesta
fill with attention the arrival of the child
fill the storm of conflict with honey
purposely fill the door that opens
sweetly fill the scarlet of risk-taking
fill the discomfort with a light breeze.

to the ombre in heat wave,
thank friendship water glass
thank you for being heard
thank the apple that crunches under the tooth
to thank for having to climb the daily
thank the early morning that brings us out of the dark
thank the song of field insects
thank the time that passes.

to the ombre
in heat wave,
bring the child to the writing of his future
bring the mother to the vigilance of her own
bring the father to the bow of the ship
bring the old man to the smell of cut hay
bring the sky to open between wall and foliage
bring a festive air to the hard stone
bring life into fellowship.

on edge a kiss has landed

   On edge      
~ a kiss landed.

Crazy child butterfly
~ of our dreams.

Farandole of reflections
~ bubbles on the surface.

A pewter ladle
~ to put to our lips.

The wind in the ash trees
~ to cool off.

mission blue sky
~ eternal trial.

A few steps in the stream
~ an exchanged smile.

Clasped hands
~ for the thirsty.

A flame on your forehead
~ the eye so mysterious.

my wrinkled hand

   Vituperating Splint   
of your voice
the star of our loves
cry for joy
uphill
gentle slope
of our escape.

Afraid
with so much tenderness
the soldier turned his gun
under the quivering birch
of autumn
assumption of the ball
without the moon going out.

Walk
walk on the edge of the cliff
settle for little
close your eyes
the spray so low
on the horizon
of an ultimate feeling.

Call the beadle
tell him i'm dying
between bellflowers and blueberries
under the starry canopy
with a superb vault
that the storm would have refreshed
of its clattering cartage.

And then the sense in decay

 Barefoot   
 on the Moor   
 stick well in hand   
 the musette on the shoulder   
 hat covering the ears   
 behind the cows   
 go to the cabin   
 the dog on the trail   
 doing what he wanted   
 from molehill to molehill   
 then raising its earthy muzzle   
 questing eyes   
 towards endless waiting. 
       
 With reversed forehead   
 recover from Orion's departure   
 to the delights of the day   
 breathe the morning air   
 go smell the pigmented dew grass   
 store two or three objects   
 splash water on the face     
 welcome the thought.  
 
 And then the meaning   
 to the delirium of meaning   
 in decline   
 to say something   
 worth it   
 who gets to know   
 meaning in the direction assumed   
 sense out of sensation   
 of essential meaning   
 excuse and desire.   
   
 For air bubble   
 exploded in the open air   
 snap the rainbow   
 against the white screen of a dark room   
 out of mystery   
 to closely assess the accuracy of a sound   
 on the sacred altar   
 muffled whispers   
 enter through the ceremonial door.  
 
 Dressed in white   
 at the ray of light that appeared   
 be the step   
 on the basalt slab   
 step without haste   
 than the elevation of a song   
 transport to the crossroads of the clouds.   

 Joie,   
 felt in the heart,   
 contact with reality.

You come to me, oh unfulfilled moon

 you come to me    
late at night
on the moon set
country woman
child of the weeds
familiar old man
in the mirror
under the firefly of memories.

look up
close to the torch
at the temple of expectations.

Be Holy Woman
rainbow of desires.

Be the child
sitting on the edge of the well.

Be the forgetful old man
to futile thoughts.

Be the wick
who lights the fire of being oneself.

Be the pillow of a thousand grains of rice
welcoming what comes
in wise joy
a pinch of salt
on the lips
arms outstretched in embrace
flickering light
of the day to come.

Be eternal moon.

Sorte de lanterne aux joues roses

 kind of lantern   
rosy-cheeked
Sourire étoilé
éclaire les entrailles
lace face
sprinkled with milk
tenderness against the shoulder
the cat wraps around your neck.

leafless tree
le rouge ronge les lèvres
small dry kernel
that the gaze captures
undone hair
with a ripe belly
redhead itch
to be worn before the altar
the voice of good girls
overhanging
opaque glasses
with an embrace
kneel on the sand
face down
cry to be stone
starry stake in the heavens
d'une gymnopédie.

My girl, my little one

 My girl   
 my little one   
 my eternal child   
 Carmine back   
 my blueberry child   
 that I plucked from his mother's womb.   

 Then brother came.   

 And I left the castle 
 at the desire of another man   
 keeping only the scattered limbs  
 whose body I reconstituted      
 Fallen Osiris   
 a few weekends 
 sorry for not knowing   
 keep the heat in the fireplace   
 in my useless hands     
 fine dust    
 que le vent porte   
 to the long corridor of remorse.  
 
 Then the bronze doors opened   
 some bloody marks on the cold walls   
 j'avançai    
 perceiving   
 the flickering lights on the other side    
 beyond the tall forests   
 de mes passions en déraison.  
 
 The train entered the free zone   
 the brakes squealed       
 jets of steam
 blurred the shutter windows.   

 A silence came   
 crows were croaking     
 des voix hurlaient.  
 
 The line of demarcation passed   
 I knew nothing would be like before.   

 Some askew intentions   
 could not respond to your requests    
 back at home   
 childish handwriting on pink paper   
 out of sight   
 along a mountain road   
 sharing my sleepless nights   
 stars and moon in supply   
 the dog glued to the coattails   
 without ever looking back   
 j'allai.    
  
 The tricolor ribbon crossed   
 race over   
 in the labyrinth of wanderings   
 I had to find the mother earth   
 mixes atoms ready for recycling.   

 I will get up   
 the air will be cool   
 the heart will bleed   
 the footsteps will be pressing   
 to find the emerging companion   
 the memorial call to order   
 my friend double   
 handing me the crown of flowers      
 my daughter in mandorla   
 my little one   
 my eternal child
 ma bleuette   
 that I had gathered from her mother's womb   
 a day of joy.

umbrella of light

   umbrella of light   
au vert triangle
of the White Lady.

The balcony path
snack of the day
waddles the song of the birds.

Whisper of water
whirling dervish
drunkenness of scents.

Standing
immobile
the torrent scrapes the skull.

The mountain in ubac
raises its sail
before the rising waters.

The day dawns
the grass bends
caress of freshness.

to the call horns

   To the call horns   
pebbles thrown against the brazen gates
the mountain freezes the word.

Equidistant from embrasures
measure thrust and size strikes
without the shadow coming.

There's blood on your clothes
tightened laces
will make a forced march.

Raise the moon
at the claws
marine amber.

Your steps follow the edge of the path
small pebbles unscrew
the thoughts protrude from the haversack.

Bite your brakes
be the brimborion of the ebbing traps
be tall in the downpour.

Abjure and come to me
Callunum of the raw prairies
Offering to seize.
