Le collines tout autour de la cime attendent la tombée de l’ombre
sous les cils ensommeillés du soleil,
le bloc de basalte qui gronde en roulant
et la lave qui fera tomber en gouttes sur leurs corps
l’orgasme des anges.
Je prends cette photo sur le même film où j’ai immortalisé
à la fin de l’été, en Galilée, le général Colchique
agitant la baguette de l’automne,
la broussaille ondoyante
au-dessus du ravin d’un ruisseau au désert de Judée
et les nattes de sable tressées par les dunes
sur la plage jaunissante des nudistes
dans le livre des confessions de Nueba.
Les putains tout au long de l’asphalte furent créées
le huitième jour en hommage aux myopes
qui n’ont jamais quitté le seuil de leur porte.
