voyage

Mes mains : ses minuscules trous, par lesquels tout passe à travers, les anciens déchets oubliés se ramassent autour de mes pieds, et montrent les plus belles cendres d’une fablière ratée - sous la mer, à des milliers de pas, parmi des feus brûlants noyés cette langue (jamais entendue) me ramène très loin du moment donné, entre-temps, l’anti-temps et ses camarades se réveillent battus et épuisés - la ligne droite vient de s’exprimer en courbes, faut se plier en deux, en trois, même en quatre pour aller jusqu’au bout du monde encore - puis, le retour. - l’horloge sonne. l’air pèse une tonne - english translation *Tiny holes in my hands, through which everything slips the former, forgotten waste collects around my feet, showcasing the breathtaking ashes of a failed storyteller - under the sea, at a thousand paces, among the burning, drowned fires a stranger’s unknown word takes me to places far from this instant, Whilst Anti-time et his mates awake battered & dead on their feet - the straightest line sings its song in curves, bend yourself in two, in three, even four to reach the end of the world once more - & then, the return. - the clock strikes the air is thick as hell.*
