Bestiary in my clover
Let us suspect
that poesy might be one situation among the alloys of life, the approach of
sorrow, the exhorted election, and the kissing at this very moment. It would
only separate from its true heart if fullness discovered its fatality, the combat
would begin between void and communion. In that transposed world, it would
remain to us to make the brief Elogy of one suspected, the only one
that keeps the power of speech on the brink of tears. Its young dementia at
twelve removes thinking to enrich its tomorrows would delude itself about the
least frail despotic adventure anyone alive has lived while rubbing shoulders
with chaoses that passed for irresistible. They were so only intrinsically but
without a trace of caprice. Come from where? From a calendar turned upside
down even though united to Time, without its usury being felt. Forthrightness
of one suspected... Fatigue is
favorable to generous animals when we show ourselves sensible of their
oppressed existence. Nausea after a
precipitate of dreams. Then an original breath of terror and happiness.
Little in sum. What has become
of the wolf in these times of abandon? It aligned itself with man when it
protested it could not bend to the latter; and the cage opened first before
the space of its death, just over its pressed paws. |
