ESQUISSE

C'est bien avec le poing qu'on rcite le jour
quand les dsirs sont  plaindre
En montant le volume du corps
les prix grimpent
et la folie est  son plus bas
Des formes terroristes devancent la mmoire
Est-ce bien utile d'inventer de nouveaux visages
alors que les fentres ne sont plus tanches
Au verso de la brutalit
il n'y a que de la poussire
et de l'intimit
invente pour l'anatomie branlante
C'est dfonc et plein d'impasses
et a chemine vers l'obsession la nuit

Les muscles se profilent au tangage des mots
que la main refuse
Ces moments de flottement entre les paumes
soulvent des enjeux
que les lvres ne savent pas dissimuler
La journe en toute maladresse brle
d'une stimulation affectueuse de l'oeil
dessine des zones de haute prcision
Alerte
l'heure sonne la stratgie
quand toutes les paniques ont t regroupes
La ferveur est invitable
La langue et ses malfices organisent
des aller-retour d'exil
et mme des rapprochements  ciel ouvert

La violence se fait discrte
douce comme un bruissement d'horloge
et la rponse est l
rouge
le soleil se lve encore
l'oeil cousu  la mmoire
du voyageur
qui apprend  mourir
en cours de route
digne de la peur
avant le lait
aprs les sueurs
et sa descente au fond des sens
comme une digestion
lorsque la bouche  plein rgime s'crie
Attendez-moi

ce grand stress fut oubli
sur la batture
quand un bateau lent passa
aux pieds des enfants
trop grands
trop chers
leurs samedis trop frquents
en attendant le dimanche
dans la ville
avec ses secrets qui penchent
tantt  droite
tantt  gauche
et le temps qui occupe le temps
quand on n'y est pas

 grands coups de flots
la sve des mares
embrassa le silence
de ces hommes impunis
et leurs femmes ont crach leurs visages
dans les sables que dvorent
les vaisseaux endormis

elles ouvrent au large
leurs hanches
o le coulis fcond
engrosse leurs rves
infiniment
dans le goudron

devant ce miroir gris
c'tait crit
que l'oeil magique
fix sur le ventre de l'idoltre
labourerait ses nuits
sans mmoire

le jour venu
il n'y aurait plus que des noeuds
sur les murs
et une parade de sentiments
d'origine inconnue
sur l'indiffrence du tapis

c'tait crit aussi
que la Marie vengeur
du haut de son rve
briguerait le suffrage thtral
et qu'elle contesterait les bonheurs
qui font mal

mais ne rveillez plus la femme
qui n'a pas tort
de se lever en retard
surtout quand elle a pass minuit
sans broncher
devant une fentre historique
alors que le monde
sous de lourdes paupires
dfilait sans payer
devant un vieux fusil

 l'heure dite
on teignit les lumires
de la rue
jonche de foules
sous le manteau d'un ange gris
radoteux

pendant ce temps
la superfemelle
qui avalait goulment son djeuner
s'touffa

et vous tes parti
sans un mot dans les poches
un vieux bout de papier
dans vos souliers
en cas d'urgence

aprs avoir grug les villes
 petits pas fauves
vous tes rentr
par la porte arrire
l'me chiffonne

mais le temps n'y tait plus
seul un grincement de coeur
enfouissait ses vides
dans les noirs secrets
d'un rfrigrateur

voir ce spasme norme
au bar des mgots
et les couples  talons hauts
une grosse bire passionne
dans la foule de l'oeil
bue comme un rle sur mesure

un spot majuscule et rose
sillonne la salle
en qute du lieu prcis
o se droulera l'clat des sens

il pleut  verse sur l'criture
effaant les sexes joyeux
ces jeux de thtre
et le retour

mais ce n'est l'affaire de personne
si la terre vieillit
d'un rve  la fois
avec son pass antrieur
vach sur l'horizon
devant les hommes et les femmes
des morts  plaindre
d'avoir vcu
en l'espace d'une poussire
sans rincer l'histoire
 l'eau de Javel
pluvieuse comme un souvenir
d'criture

quand ce blues est incertain
j'implore les vierges de la modernit
les icnes de la rue
les fonctionnaires et les fous
et je consacre mes jours
 dormir dans la poubelle du coeur
 l'envers

parfois dans la chair
il y a des coups de semonce
du nuclaire qui pouffe de rire
et cette bagatelle qu'on appelle
tendresse
extra-lgre "king size".

CYCLES AMOUREUX

Sous les crocs du soir
les ventres amoureux
profanent
le corps dpec du silence
ils palpent l'attente
jusqu'aux heures affolantes
du respir

derrire le tableau
les battements de la forme
taire l'inconnu
cet chapp de la main

a meurt toujours
 l'oppos d'un cho
quand le coeur s'enfonce dans l'absence
sous les orages de silences
et le tue-mouches

le temps se rupture
et le corps vole en clats
sa respiration sous les arbres
comme un objet sans repos
devenu vgtal

assises sur le monde
les amours lentes
greffes  nos tempes
s'loignent comme des vierges ensemences
vers le chaud mlange du ciel
entre l'extase
et son reflet

condamnes
elles s'offrent jusqu'aux larmes
des cinmas

puis vint le dlire
puis la mort
restitue
une dernire fois dans l'haleine
comme un tout rassembl

promise au dsert
la vie gnitale
commande des toasts
et du caf
se noie dans toutes les directions
en laissant tomber ses fruits

mais au pied du lit
il y a des novembres
abandonns  la pluie
l'alchimie d'une chanson
bleu-or
et la porte de la mmoire
toujours ferme
quand c'est ncessaire

cet effeuillage discret de l'automne
s'achvera
ds que la paume
aura tu le frisson
sur la peau ornementale des filles
qui grignotent la passion
dans l'instantan des amants
sols
leurs hanches
graves dans le calcaire
aux mille glissements de coeur
clats dans l'oeuf

le corps bais
en saumure potique
se fane vite et ras
dans le remous des dfroques
et du lancer lger

sans sourciller
le midi mange-tout annonce des mots
des nymphes
et des moustiques
pour les cas d'aprs-midi
comme si les oreillers taient en manque
sur les draps propres
des amours empeses

enroule dans le miel triste
et la plume d'oie
la peau chic
hume les bires d'espces
en poursuivant les fossoyeurs
jusqu'au dix-huitime trou

ce dernier cratre amoureux
de la chair embrasse
 coups d'pe dans la poussire
le cri neuf
dfinitif

malgr ce discours
cet espace blanc
et tout ce remplissage du silence
qu'on verse sur le pre
la mre les enfants
il y a mmre dans la dramaturgie
ordonne
multiplie par l'espace-temps

on la retrouve en double
en triple
en quadrimoteur
sur les ailes du langage
elle flotte
sur la masse totale du pome
trique

devant cette affiche en folie
il a failli faire noir
mais de parole en parole
on s'est tromp de rue
puis on a march sur des trous
mous
en faisant claquer nos doigts
dans l'oreille des sourds

le bec en cul d'poule
on retourne au salon
l'instant d'une rvolte
conserve dans la biensance

 tl-Douceur
passe-moi le beurre
du bonheur des morts apaiss
et le popcorn

viens
on va faire la moue ensemble
dans un coin d'ombre
et puis on se promnera
dans la moiteur des yeux
sans personne pour nous moucher

on investira le pont d'argile
et on tassera nos vieilles peurs
dans le courant de l'anne
sans interrompre
les pigeons dans les beaux draps
de soie
pour le plaisir des mains
et le dsir encore

il n'y a rien d'inquitant
quand la chambre est assoupie
et que ses effluves aspergent
les corps endormis

le chatoiement de la brise sur la peau
grise les spasmes
et la dentelle des rideaux

comme un vieux fantme rabougri
le songe
songe
il rafle le sommeil
et tout recommence

de mmoire distraite
on redessine le corps
qu'on range dans l'armoire
sous une pile de secrets
rapics
que le temps renifle
en l'absence du poids des lettres
et des mots cachs

il ne reste plus qu' disparatre
dans les noirceurs
et les ides
puis  teindre ce pome
dans le cendrier

_______________________


EFFLEUREMENT

Affolement  la rencontre de la main
mmoire  cinq doigts sur la bougeotte du monde
cette vagabonde empoigne la chair des images
effleure la voix
de l'autre

elle crit entre les gestes
jusqu' la racine des pierres
pour l'intense de nos sangs froids
durs

incline devant ce mystre
la main caresse ouvertement la vie
d'un lan vertigineux
transporte le sol

au fond
elle a froid
et ses bidules ne laissent aucune trace
jusqu'au moment
o une petite chose tranquille
revint de vacances
avec le ciel dans sa valise
et des gants pour ramasser
les sortilges
rpandus dans les nervures de l'automne
juste avant l'hiver

au thtre de l'espce
l'obstine explore les dsirs
jusqu'au ras des brlures

ces espaces nus
abandonns  l'criture
recomposent la prhistoire
 la recherche du mouvement
cette force chaude
d'un sourire inachev

pendant ce temps
baiser  blanc au bord du lit
au bord de la route
au bord du bord
tandis qu'un vieux monde ergote
 l'angle Gorki et Lafontaine
le blues loin des oreilles indiscrtes

emmitoufl dans les mythes artificiels
l'oeil gitan
 travers les barbels
veille
au milieu

reprenons  partir de la blessure
qu'un matin embu invite
entre deux draps ivres
le corps en friche
embaum de soleil
de chocolat fondant
accompagn de frites-sauce-fromage
octroyes par le ministre
de la tourmente fdrative

forcment
les roses ont le mal du tendre
quand le bonbon ne fond pas

mais tout ceci n'est qu'un oeil
dans l'oeil de l'autre
quand parler de l'amour
et d'une tte croche
c'est comme frler un voyage
lorsque la bouche largue ses amarres
sur une vieille peau

en regard de nos mains recueillies
tous les yeux
ont suivi
la silhouette du silence
vers des ombres  rayures d'enfants sales
pills par les jeux des absents
images brles
devenues pays
et vastes saisons

cette vision engendre un printemps froce
dans le ventre des coutumes
ses formes bohmiennes
promises  la torture
 travers les lieux tides
de la chair

il se peut qu'une voix
 tte chercheuse prononce
une tonne de briques
sur les braguettes magiques
qui en ont assez de languir
au pied de l'escalier

tout a se ramasse  la cuillre
au cours d'un brunch menstruel
arme de noix
de camomille et de th glac
bouillie avorte dans des assiettes
plaques or
flanques de fourchettes en plastique

oedme aux yeux
qu'allons-nous faire dans ces salles d'eau
sinon excrmenter des figures de style
et "sniffer" des bulles
comme des ponges naissantes

ce bluff quotidien s'assoupit
dans le journal intime du matin
et les nouvelles croupissent
sous le choc des odeurs vnementielles

alors
sonne l'heure de la dbcle

_______________________


INCIDENCES

Couche dans le duvet de l'automne
je crie en silence
sous la pluie verte et sourde
mon corps dtremp ramollit
et que viennent les mouches
braconner sur les restes
de ma folie

entourez-moi de vos bruits d'ailes
enterrez-moi comme un hasard
jusqu' la prochaine repousse

dans ce "nowhere" solitaire
des sances imaginaires
sous les caresses gniales
dclenchent
l'ondulation sauvage
lectrique

pour l'amour de l'amour
cette vague s'abandonne
aux gmissements des sources
mystre de la pluie
et des vents millnaires

enchan
au chant us
des cris mles
le temps s'agenouille
cribl de souvenirs
qu'un printemps fbrile
tale
sur les draps livrs au dsir

saisir l'idole au bout de l'onde
en faire jaillir l'cume
de mes promenades solitaires
suppliant la rigidit des rocs
jusqu'au calme dfinitif

je ne crois pas  la fin du monde
mais je suis polie
quand vient le temps de crever l'absence
dans la rondeur du paysage

sur le coeur sangl de mtal
et de cuir
mes mains excessives peignent
des mmoires
pour l'mouvance
fabrique vraie
tout prs du loin
territoires exagrs
lorsque la silhouette se penche
doucement
sur l'infime

en apparat de mots-vampires
les dieux coeurs fanatisent l'ardente
puise
sur les dalles fleuries
feux et vertiges aux fibres

le corps errant
dans les secrets de l'autre nuit
je m'abme sous-cutane
sous la pulsion d'anctres
symboliques

une  l'infini
dans le clapotis des lumires
la couleur de l'hiver
expire
esquisse transparente
et blessure d'or

programms au cul du jour
les doigts immobiles
essouffls

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works.

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
