Maintes Fois

A sound stretches, gradually there is an awakening of movement. When the motif becomes fixed, it repeats in an interplay of superpositions, works up to a climax and then collapses into a residue; which does not quite die.

how the gaze purifies itself under the skin
they fear it's true the fire of men and abandon it
alone and motionless struggling with leaves
but you have to quench the thirst
and to the bone we burn in it - invisible
to the aerials and that they erase their night there
certainly tottering with him - would be enough for them
against the freezing sky
that they protect it at the birth of the breath
with a simple hand on the back of the neck - but we must burn
