Árbol de Sangre riega la mañana por donde gime la recién parida. Su voz deja cristales en la herida y un gráfico de hueso en la ventana. Mientras la luz que viene fija y gana blancas metas de fábula que olvida el tumulto de venas en la huida hacia el turbio frescor de la manzana, Adam sueña en la fiebre de la arcilla un niño que se acerca galopando por el doble latir de su mejilla. [Pero otro]1 Adán oscuro está soñando neutra luna de piedra sin semilla donde el niño de luz se irá quemando.

Un arbre de sang baigne le matin où la nouvelle mère gémit. sa voix laisse des cristaux dans la blessure et sur la fenêtre un dessin d'os. Pendant que la lumière se fixe et gagne les limites blanches de la fable qui oublie le tumulte des veines dans son vol vers la fraîcheur trouble de la pomme. Adam rêve dans la fièvre de l'argile d'un garçon qui s'approche en galopant par le double battement dans sa joue. Mais un autre Adam obscur rêve d'un lune neutre, de pierre, sans graine, où le garçon de lumière va brûler.
