Machicolation of words of grace

Machicolation of words of grace  
at the main door of the turnstile of emotions    
make make make small puppets    
under the fragrant canopy of feast days    
to rock the sweet child.        
 
There are escapades    
what we have to do    
and time erodes    
phlegmatically when the storks pass    
on the snowy plain.        
 
A thousand golden fruits fallen during the night    
gather the day laborers    
for a day broken by melancholy     
my soul my wisdom    
the impeccable sword of new beginnings.        
 
I admit to taking shelter    
at my friend the poet    
à l'univers courbe    
when rises from the bottom of the valley    
the breeze of the mind.        
 
I move I move from love    
in the hollow of the hoarsely breathing waves    
pebbles against pebbles    
que la voix des volets vole    
heurtant la pierre en cadence.        
 
Puissent les pas sur les dalles
smash in a mighty way    
the code of habits    
and submit to the pillory    
the flabbergasted remonstrance of our teachings.        
 
there is no blood    
que la poussière    
fine fishnet on the sand of the arenas    
when does the beast pass    
aux flancs de banderilles et de suint mêlés.        
 
To come back    
sage    
at the edge of the wave    
entre la couronne d'une ronde      
et le baiser de joie.

pancakes in the pan

pancakes in the pan    
straw on the ground    
wooden handle    
and bowl    
are the auxiliaries of Grandmother.        
 
There's something for all ages    
in progress    
steps too short    
and drafts    
what don't they seem to know.        
 
You have to tell yourself    
let life reign over life    
and that she traces her path    
avoiding being    
this push out of oneself.        
 
Fingers can quiver    
in the throes of winter    
the celebrant's tailcoat    
go up to paradise    
before rolling into the pit.        
 
Hats off    
gentlemen of belief    
in the librarian of the spirit    
dance on one leg     
childhood fireflies.

Le baiser du silence

Sur l'œil cerclé de jaune    
je pose le baiser du silence.        
 
Sur la vastitude des offres d'amour    
je retiens le rot de l'ego.        
 
Sur ton front hors toute pensée    
je fais croître le rameau de paix.        
 
Sur le toit des villes grises    
les fumées sont des reflets d'espoir.        
 
A la porte des demeures    
j'éprouve le courant d'air des rires.        
 
De ceux qu'on a aimé    
j'accueille l'œillet du souvenir.        
 
Chaque seconde écoulée    
a son chien sage à sa longe attaché.        
 
Un soir d'hiver    
les yeux couleurs de fruits mûrs    
j'apparaîtrai    
on the windowsill    
chouette effarouchée    
impudente dans son langage figé    
la plume vibrante    
à conter l'histoire 
d'une cabane aux planches de bois    
que l'hiver attendait    
de ses flocons de neige recouverte    
tel un grand cœur    
au matin du saut de l'ange.

Holes in the azure

Holes in the azure    
white shapes    
in the alleys of the castle    
soars the osprey    
to the cry of children    
when passing the hitch    
crunching the gravel.        
 
Associated marble and alabaster   
coat on the shoulders 
the Elephantine scooter    
by love    
that the foam of the pond alters    
obsolete memory     
where we were in the presence.        
 
Fulcanelli did not hold back his thought      
and stinks unreasonably    
swoon    
without permission    
wear high and short    
the small fracture in voluptuousness    
of this assured scaffolding.

space blue

space blue    
love beads    
in body 
and even    
in infinity    
from the nest of tender things  
without hurt coming    
joy    
unravel the weft of days    
with the passage of clouds.        
 
Imperial Blue    
trust    
in what comes    
without waiting    
without bending it to our wishes    
in what arises    
kindly    
without it being explained    
with this zest of lack    
our light to all.        
 
blue white blue    
in his cohort of angels    
suddenly comforting    
this almost nothing    
in this jolt    
that makes us open    
out of sight    
soul pirate    
on the hunt for wonders    
that the heart deposits in good company.

Backed up against the wall


Backed up against the wall
in the dead end of rue Gignoux
he scratched the stone
de ses ongles en sang.

The tomb
before the lark finishes its trill
with the long stalks of durum wheat of yesteryear
short stalks followed by heavy ears.

The carnation between the teeth
he just remembered a moment
a bunch of blueberries from Nogent
caressé par la houle .

Burning thoughts hemmed his cap
and her eyes turning white
offered to all
the flash of an innocent smile.

In the dead end rue Gignoux
kneeling against the Federated wall
scratching the stone with her splintered fingers
there was a flood of darkness from which light rose.

We are walking

We are walking    
again and again    
on the slope of the beaches    
from morning to sunset.       
 
In the distance the revival will rise    
there will be laughter in the garden    
the water lilies will blister     
under the eyes of frogs.        
 
The sun will pour the final leap    
in front of the alternation bridge    
a little lipstick    
make clean the kiss of the clouds.        
 
We will look at each other    
a smile under the raspberry coulis    
the blue of the eyes will organize the departure    
in the light morning of the last day.        
 
The face cracked by the rantings    
jump from tree to tree    
groping    
grandma's maple syrup.        
 
To the rivers    
holiday water extinguished    
will flow back through the manhole covers    
without emotion joining.        
 
Moderate your impulses    
let's leave the place clean    
for the succession    
cessation of all activity.        
 
A few seconds are enough    
to live forever    
to keep walking    
under the limpid cloud of the spirit.        
 
life never stops    
no death is eternal    
on the other side of the paper partition    
the target of another life in our life.

In the rich hours


In the rich hours    
the complaint of the Elders    
took us out on Sundays  
walking along gray sidewalks.        
 
I read in the cracks of the tar    
the appearance of the plant    
the embrace of beings    
outside the silent windows.        
 
My skin was pink    
abrasions on the knees    
crusted profusely    
the dust smelled good after the downpour.        
 
This letter    
I had it in hand    
and did nothing     
in the anonymity of requests.        
 
I took some resin    
to cover the eyes of dolls    
the wind shook the tall trees of the wood    
there were frequent walks to the lake.        
 
As time goes by    
the skin wrinkles    
the senses all to their use    
essentialize the break.

my houses

Houses    
backyard    
city    
village.        
 
Houses    
concrete blocks    
of bricks    
Of wood.         
     
Houses    
from childhood    
vacation    
d'adolescence    
today.        
 
All on hillsides    
to the clouds of the mind    
and I stayed silent    
along the road    
put away my toys    
one last time.        
 
Lots of island shells    
lined the lacquer box    
the drawer was full of capsules    
the toy cars were driving on the lino.        
 
There were tender moments    
of loneliness    
two with sister    
on the front of the house    
the cooing of pigeons    
and don't do this don't do that mom.        
 
The farandole rose    
happy chinese print    
laden with mist    
ravines and trees    
to the light    
a light of dispossession    
a light of down and plaster    
curling up like bindweed    
around the barrier of limits.        
 
A breath chased the writing    
a faded hovel on the edge of the forest    
saw enter the deferred man    
gratitude could come    
in wonder before the door of the invisible.

Les sept aspects de Perrotine

To the seven aspects of Perrotine    
we joined cloud of milk.

With bright eyes in the morning
pixie powder.

To the adventurous frog
the stained glass of dawn.

With pearl oyster
to bead without a stone.

In the bosom of grandmothers
the face of little moss.

Looks like one of Perrotine
no longer suspect.

aspect two
three makes a pair.

aspect three
sleep trypanosome.

aspect four
quatre à quatre virer de bord.

aspect five
headed west.

L'aspect six
whistled in its yards.

L'aspect sept
knew so many things
that he ascended to the prince of the clouds.

Aspects
Habeas corpus
my words
my mosaics.

Mes glottes d'août
n'arrêtent ni le maigre ni l'huître
in good company
too
Sauvignon at the stern
entered the port
culinary requests
nonchalantly
a bicycle
from the beach
not abandoned at all
through the forest
without limping
shark slip
glossy fins
high seas flag
swimming goggles
and poet's carnation in the buttonhole.

To the seven aspects of Perrotine
we joined cloud of milk.
