 ... 

J’ai le pouvoir d’exister sans destin
Entre givre et rosée entre oubli et présence

Fraîcheur chaleur je n’en ai pas souci
Je ferai s’éloigner à travers tes désirs
L’image de moi-même que tu m’offres
Mon visage n’a qu’une étoile

Il faut céder m’aimer en vain
Je suis éclipse rêve de nuit
Oublie mes rideaux de cristal

Je reste dans mes propres feuilles
Je reste mon propre miroir
Je mêle la neige et le feu
Mes cailloux ont ma douceur
Ma saison est éternelle.
