Zénith Tous ces regrets Ces jardins sans limites Où le crapaud module un tendre cri d'azur La biche du silence éperdu passe vite Un rossignol meurtri par l'amour chante sur Le rosier de ton corps dont j'ai cueilli les roses Nos coeurs pendent ensemble au même grenadier Et les fleurs de grenade en nos regards écloses En tombant tour à tour ont jonché le sentier
