Poetry for a day on Terres de femmes, by Angèle Paoli
An extract from Cécile A. Holdban 's book, All these things that make the night crack , published on the Terres de femmes website and proposed by Angèle Paoli :
VI
Twilight oranges
Travel, hands on the bark, in the wake
wavelets, sleeping vessels, on
a silent sea of fruit. Evening falls,
sphere is an enigma locked in its brilliance.
We don't uncover the mysteries. Flesh
wraps himself in his dream. The scent of every form
is unique. It's the language of angels, happiness
solar, whose darkness wants to numb the call.
Orange curves, galaxies, among which
we spell light, an unalterable gold.
152
A little witch
in magic
of the immovable
153
My copper bracelet
suddenly transformed
in orvet
154
On the stones
time ricochets
without measure
155
Take what comes
leave the rest to the wind
live like a tree
156
My face
in the bark of the ash tree
inner smile
157
The cry of the jay
so close
that I hear the blue
