La nuit le froid la solitude
On m’enferma soigneusement
Mais les branches cherchaient leur voie dans la prison
Autour de moi l’herbe trouva le ciel

On verrouilla le ciel
Ma prison s’écroula
Le froid vivant le froid brûlant m’eut bien en main

Premier commandement du vent
La pluie enveloppe le jour
Premier signal d’avoir à tendre
La voile claire à nos yeux

Au front d’une seule maison
Au flanc de la muraille tendre
Au sein d’une serre endormie
Nous fixons un feu velouté

Dehors la terre se dégrade
Dehors la tanière des morts
S’écroule et glisse dans la boue

Une rose écorchée bleuit
