1. GONE

Gone
Between your hands
Earth
Of wind and angels

Created
Without a single touch
Green
Wounded by hands

The secret of the soil
Ripened in your breath
Bride
Hidden from sight
Speaks
Words of yours palms
Know me
Under the bark of wormwood

With a touch
Of light and hope


2. OMENS

I'm falling
Through the ordinary days of death
Looking for a grave that won't betray me
Beneath a thousand golden eyes
An abyss, that would save me

While the dream writhes in torment
Let my body bear an omen

I'm falling
A thousand golden eyes surround me
A different time predicting
Th time through which
I'm falling
Falling
Falling through
Not knowing
Which abyss I belong to

While the dream writhes in torment
Let my body bear an omen

Like a fall by hands stopped
For the golden eyes
Of the awakening ones


3. REVELATION OF ARCHANGEL

"According to the Bible prophecy is not the foretelling of future,
Nor is it the anticipation of echos.
What a prophet reveals is not a transient future,
But the Absolute of God's plans.
Rabbi tradition tells us about the Angel of Death all covered with eyes.
Having realised that he happened to come too early
And that the man has still to live,
He leaves the man one of his innumerable eyes.
And then the man can see new and strange things."


4. SABRE

As if death has ripened in me
Before the absurdity of blood, the absurdity of body

With a sabre in my hand
I cut my soul in half
Not knowing that in death alone I have to stand
And that pain cannot breed life

Words of death became the Name
When my hands recognised the sabre


5. DOROTHEA

A ring of tears makes a Kingdom
A secret's left by weeping
Your eyes will hide it
Your tears to light transform it

Only your heart
As the love itself
Only your heart
Blessed by grace

While your tear in the eyes of another
The light of day adores
A grain of salt is split in two
Like a seal midst the palm of yours

Only your heart
As the love itself
Only your heart
Blessed by grace


6. NEIMENIA

Your name has stopped echoing,
Or the spectres have begun their whispers
Or God has made it the name of inexistence
Knowing what distance can steal

Echoes of the heart for soul's lost names
Can wake eternity instead of perishing
Or crush the time of your name for good
If a man could ever have been eternity

Distance like silence
Meaningless words
Something that would look like salvation
Born with lips
Hand-woven wall
Outside of Eden
In the clothes of shame
You and me
Under the fragile apple tree
And something inside of you
Begot
Without tears or witnessing eyes
Wants
To be an echo of my pain
Once forgotten
Holy name

As if the word broke in half

Speaking only words of faith and death
Not wisdom
Images in which we seek the hands
To start creating
Something more real
Than the touch in which we remain

9. LELEJ

Tired of the window,
I take the light from your hands
Before the earth
Without a word
Through this long wake
Eyes accustomed to silence
Will I recognise the dead ?

Some people are with us,
Under the arches of the sanctuary
Like the shadows on the cracked wall of time
Not knowing what we are waiting for
We're standing before the face of the water
In his mountain of emptiness
Afraid of the stones

Between the silence and the seal
I hear
A mother lulls her son to sleep
Her voice
Bitter from the wind and prayer
Under the dark throat
And a thousand golden tongues
Through the window of scarlet fire, through the green eye of heaven

Her voice
Amidst the ruins of the temple
Blind from the secrets
Like a book worn out by the eyes of the prophets
Like a wormwood ripened to flame
In the cities beneath the leaves
Her voice
Made up of all words
Approaches the window and says : "The star has fallen"
