A badger skin in the hand

Emerged from between the thickets    
the red coat on the back
a badger skin in his hand
l'homme d'avant-garde.

Crouching
while advancing in small leaps
her big eyes turned to the sky
he was living nature.

A cart passed
granulating some gravel
a whip cracked
the horse reared.

Deep in the Chablis
the excitement was great
without a cry
the eagle flew.

Then passed the master of the stubble
the embalmer of feigned solutions
le traîne-misère des rassemblements
the show of our campaigns.

Should have been moved, to congratulate
stand on tiptoe
nudging each other
in order to be there, on the picture.

The badger-skinned man sat up
stirring the air
mysterious gestures
tel un sémaphore en sortie de brumes.

He was coming home
after a long absence
by the wayside
a broad smile piercing his beard.

Tall Grass Brother
be the stealth butterfly
the pretty hedgehog that attracts me
deer and boar
deep in the soul
the coming of tenderness
among the red fruits of the hedge
to gather our Sunday clothes
for the way
stretch blank wires
such a crépinette on the work of the end of the year.
