Victory lightning

The bird delves the soil.

The snake inseminates.

Death ameliorated

Applauds the harvest.

Pluto in the sky!

The explosion in us.

There solely in me.

Mad and deaf, how could I be more so?

No more second self, of changeable visage, no more season

for flames and season for darkness!

With the slow snow the lepers descend.

Suddenly love, the equal of terror,

With a hand never seen arrests the fire, puts right the sun,

reconstructs the Beloved.

Nothing announced an existence so strong.

René Char
