Before you get here I savor this delicate moment Where your presence does not yet rule My divine and sharp places The tribute of the dawn That shines on the horizon Go backwards in the hearts Swarming in the waltz Open on this large bust * I would have preferred Death to defeat Superficial, but intense Burning parties Gallant and fiery Vast building sites In one go In the clear light Little poor man without a home Advancing in the light Heating the tarmac Of this New City * Listening to the sound of the river Awakening the haggard eye When everything looks the same When all notion of God Disappeared in the waves Shining in the urns In this country The green landscapes That make you want to dance To the sound of the forest * Under a red sun Your curled eyelashes Above your open eyes Seem powerful, yet delicate Hold the storm in check The top of the sea If there is an after We'll be there together In a choral duet In the middle of a field Between two hairy woods * Gravity Will no longer guide my steps Murdering each other In the contrary winds Piece of the past Mirrored in the splinters Of a blank page Where time is drawn With a line of vair
