Emmène‑moi
Language: French (Français) 
Emmène-moi vers l’inédit,
le non-dit, le mal dit, le bien dit.

Emmène-moi vers le soleil
qui fait bouillir le sang,
qui scelle les cils de sa cire aveuglante,
qui se tapit entre les couches de l’épiderme.

Emmène-moi vers la tempête qui secoue les cieux,
les convictions, les principes.

Emmène-moi vers la pluie qui lave les péchés du monde, 

l’air respiré, les ailes d’oiseaux.

Emmène-moi au seuil de l’intolérable,
avec pour tout oreiller une marche de marbre, 

pour toute couverture un coucher de soleil laqué.
