***<br />
Le cygne m’appelle,<br />
énigme resplendissante,<br />
il appelle, et moi<br />
je contemple un corps, un cou –<br />
lyre et colline enneigée.<br />
***<br />
Minuit. Dans la rue,<br />
sur un arbre nu d’hiver,<br />
s’égosille un merle.<br />
Est-il en rêve ? En amour ?<br />
Les murs seuls renvoient son chant.<br />
***<br />
Un soir d’amour je vais rejoindre l’eau très vieille<br />
de l’étang forestier, tâtonner avec elle<br />
vers l’oubli dans la sève, avant de me mêler,<br />
lentement doux, à l’oeil des cygnes millénaires.<br />
