Soleil de proie prisonnier de ma tête
Language: French (Français)
Soleil de proie prisonnier de ma tête Enlève la colline, enlève la forêt. Le ciel est plus beau que jamais. Les libellules des raisins Lui donnent des formes précises Que je dissipe d'un geste. Nuages du premier jour, Nuages insensibles et que rien n'autorise, Leurs graines brûlent Dans les feux de paille de mes regards. À la fin, pour se couvrir d'une aube Il faudra que le ciel soit aussi pur que la nuit.
