A Ostende j'aime GibraltarCes rochers qui s'ingénientA me
faire du platA OstendeJe tire au standJe gagne
des otariesLa mer se retireCache ses rouleauxA l'ombre
des diguesElle et moi on s'ennuieNos souvenirsFont des
îles flottantesA OstendeJ'ai la hantise de l'écharpeQui s'effiloche
à ton couA Ostende j'aime EpinalSes ondées lacrymalesA
l'arrivée du ferryUn soupçon de fadeurUn rien de
tragédieEt je pleureMon collyreMa colèreFlottez hippocampesDroits comme des
iLaissez-vous porterPar l'extrême obligeanceFaites fiDe la géographieDes petits
ensemblesDes grands amphisA OstendeJ'aime GibraltarA Ostende j'appréhendeLes forces
en présenceJe paye en yensDes offrandes carabinéesA mes
païennes indifférentesArmes et palabresA OstendeTout me navreA Oslo
j'aime AgadirSon brouhahaA Java j'aime la VilletteA l'Alma
je soupireEn Ukraine j'aime le fadoA OstendeFlottez hippocampesDroits
comme des iLaissez-vous porterPar l'extrême obligeanceFaites fiDe la
géographieDes petits ensemblesDes grands amphisA Ostende j'aime GibraltarCes
rochers qui s'ingénientA me faire du platA OstendeJe
tire au standJe gagne des otariesLa mer se
retireCache ses rouleauxA l'ombre des diguesElle et moi
on s'ennuieNos souvenirsFont des îles flottantesA OstendeJ'ai la
hantise de l'écharpeQui s'effiloche à ton cou
