delirium at sunset // délire au couchant

I dig deeper

 

gravels blooded into unspoken sounds

 

still i seek the invisible tides

 

reluctant to row that bewildered boat

 

through the rapids of innocence

 

boulders of the sun's pain
bloodclotted on my forehead
I suck at banished figs insane

 

the bruised sun sends me away
to live with extinct memory
by the cypresses in the cemetry

 

I am seated there
I have a red book and a black pen

 

I am not leaving anywhere

 

I have the grey in my sights

 

I write your naked body there

 

in bark

 

I shall declare
all the emotions of sunsets rare

je creuse plus profond

 

les graviers de sang incarnés en sons indicibles

 

pourtant je cherche les marées invisibles

 

réticent à guider cette barque en perdition

 

à travers les rapides de l’innocence



les pierres de la douleur du soleil
explosent sur mon front
je suce la folie de figues bannies

 

le soleil meurtri m’expulse

je vis sans mémoire

près des cyprès dans le cimetière

 

je suis assis là


j'ai un livre rouge et un stylo noir

 





je ne vais nulle part


 

j’ai le gris en ligne de mire



j'écris ton corps nu là



en écorce 


je déclarerai 

toutes les émotions des couchants rares

    this is a majestic poem of which the declarative tone works both amending as hypnotizing and we get the feeling of being on the edge of existence where a pure poetry wells up out of sand and waves and wind. the essentialia seem touched.

    Moving and evocative, your poem captures the essence of the moment.
