Poems from (signe d'appartenance)
I belong to the finger that strikes the la to the flow to the coat
to the honey plate to the moccasin to bumblebee fur I belong to the
blue seer at the window
I belong to everything not to fire yesterday nor to the nail tomorrow
to everything simultaneously I have this power that is not what I
can nor what I am I belong
how was I saying there are cinders that I am not wheels I have not
turned squares where I have not been an angle
how was I saying there are eyes through which I have not seen without
me masses have thrown themselves upon the rocks without me truths
have come to the end of their chain.
-----------
I dream that you
smile
that we speak at my door
of books you have read
of the weather as you please
it's nighttime in Paris
then it rains in our wine
I dream a wet garden
then we walk the streets
like coming home from school
steps ahead of our dog
adieu adieu age of games
the age of winds has gone
and everything could be better
everything could be different
I awake among the cries
a madman in derision
calling Marie Marie
and me I am in this black
and I know you are dead
and no one awaits you
