2. Poésie ininterrompue  [sung text not yet checked]

Language: French (Français) 
Nue effacée ensommeillée         
Choisie sublime solitaire          
Profonde oblique matinale          
Fraîche nacrée ébouriffée          
Ravivée première régnante
Coquette vive passionnée
Orangée rose bleuissante
Jolie mignonne délurée
Naturelle couchée debout
Etreinte ouverte rassemblée
Rayonnante désaccordée
Gueuse rieuse ensorceleuse
Etincelante ressemblante
Source secrète souterraine
Aveugle rude désastreuse
Boisée herbeuse ensanglantée             '
Sauvage obscure balbutiante
Ensoleillée illuminée
Fleurie confuse caressante
Instruite discrète ingénieuse
Fidèle facile étoilée
Charnue opaque palpitante
Inaltérable contractée
Pavée construite vitrifiée
Globale haute populaire
Barrée gardée contradictoire
Egale lourde métallique
Impitoyable impardonnable
Surprise dénouée rompue
Noire humiliée éclaboussée

Sommes-nous deux ou suis-je solitaire

3. Grâce
 (Sung text)

Language: French (Français) 
Elle avance
et voit palpiter l'air autour,
caresse qui la suit à pas de loup

Elle avance, avance
et sent que c'est un de ces jours
où tout l'enlace :
les regards, le vent, l'instant
ce qu'elle désire et ce qui l'attend

elle avance, avance, avance
laisse sa trace
de parfum, de lumière, de silence doux
c'est un frisson, une joie dense
et la voilà qui court.
