le <strong>Chaos</strong><br />
ou<br />
l’ordre de<br />
marChe des<br />
PossIbles<br />
Légions qui s’avancent en rangs éparses<br />
dans l’encoignure <strong>du</strong> vivant<br />
Pour le rendre encore plus vivant.<br />
Car se qui pulse en nous lorsque, hébétés,<br />
nous nous retrouvons comme des toupies<br />
folles dans l’enceinte <strong>du</strong> vivant, c’est le désir.<br />
Le désir qui se cogne, phalène,<br />
dans la demeure de l’ordre.<br />
Le désir comme un oiseau de proie<br />
qui se blesse cent fois à une fenêtre<br />
et finit par la briser.<br />
Le désir et son rituel d’amour et de sang<br />
réclament les nerfs de la réalité.<br />
C’est aussi si l’on regarde bien<br />
Des femmes aux mains pleines d’or<strong>du</strong>res<br />
Fuyant les degrés de la connaissance<br />
Parce qu’il faut bien <strong>du</strong> désordre<br />
dans ces mains-là<br />
Pour répondre au monde.<br />
Le <strong>Chaos</strong><br />
Le <strong>Chaos</strong><br />
Un mot qui chante la pratique<br />
<strong>du</strong> désastre dans la gorge <strong>du</strong> condamné.<br />
Il dit :<br />
Négocions nos âmes…<br />
Nous verrons après pour la révolution.<br />

le <strong>Chaos</strong><br />
or<br />
all PossIbles<br />
In runnIng<br />
order<br />
Onward legions in scattered ranks<br />
on the threshold <strong>of</strong> the living<br />
To make it livelier.<br />
Because what pusles deep inside when we end up,<br />
dazed and confused like spinningtops gone crazy<br />
inside the living's confines, is desire.<br />
Desire that bounces,<br />
like a moth around the abode <strong>of</strong> order.<br />
Desire like a bird <strong>of</strong> prey<br />
injured a hundred times against a window<br />
that ends up breaking it.<br />
Desire and its love and blood ritual<br />
begs for the nerves <strong>of</strong> reality.<br />
It is also when we look closer<br />
Women with handfuls <strong>of</strong> waste<br />
Running from the degrees <strong>of</strong> knowledge<br />
Because disorder is needed<br />
in these hands<br />
As an answer to the world.<br />
<strong>Chaos</strong><br />
<strong>Chaos</strong><br />
a word that chants the practice<br />
<strong>of</strong> disaster in the convict's mouth.<br />
He says:<br />
Let's negociate our souls…<br />
We shall see after for the revolution.<br />
