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
