Le nouvel être

 This wall of hardened sand  
of a deliquescent luminosity
with tangled wrinkles
hiding an entire town
and I'm at his feet
shadow without a body
registered immediately .

All around me
a desolate landscape
no vegetation
bare earth
split rocks
a flat light .

The troubled horizon
a nuance by Leonardo da Vinci
sans codicille
nothing recognizable
nothing knowing how to reassure the eye
d'avant la catastrophe .

I am alone
point of life around
no wind
a continuous hoarse breath
away
the sound of a marching crowd .

The beast is here
huge behind me
and I'm like annihilated
in front of her .

She puts her hand on my head
I have no more hair
his fingers on my face
and I no longer have a face .

Irradiated
I'm destroyed
and yet still alive
and show me at dusk
feeding on food scraps
fell from the top of the wall .

Have I been rejected ?
Am I permanently removed from the city ?
Won't a trap door open
around a rock
et cet être énigmatique m'enjoindra-t-il de le suivre ?
Je le suivrai
in the maze
illuminated by a light from nowhere .

Hastening the step
je trébucherai sur les aspérités du sol
afraid to lose sight of him .

a long long long time
we walked
along the renewed hills
non-stop
like waves of dunes
pour au détour
perceive the city of the elect
its steel enclosure
shining on its promontory
over the plain hemmed with twilight .

My love !
do not hold back your tears,
cry .

" You know
it was time past
and now there is the child,
the new being . "
