Je voudrais être très doux près de vous présent comme absent mes lèvres parfois sur votre visage papillon voué à une seule fleur. Et je n’irais aux grandes orgues de votre corps qu’amoureusement invité touchant vos cheveux et vos mains vos genoux et vos lèvres que de la main la plus légère que je puisse obtenir de mon désir : une ombre fraîche de mon sang. Ô mes seins mes hanches mes cuisses ô mon entière ma plénière je ne serai vivant que vous contre moi.
