Il n'aurait falluQu'un moment de plusPour que la
mort vienneMais une main nueAlors est venueQui a
pris la mienneQui donc a renduLeurs couleurs perduesAux
jours aux semainesSa réalitéA l'immense étéDes choses humainesMoi
qui frémissaisToujours je ne saisDe quelle colèreDeux bras
ont suffiPour faire à ma vieUn grand collier
d'airRien qu'un mouvementCe geste en dormantLéger qui me
frôleUn souffle poséMoins une roséeContre mon épauleUn front
qui s'appuieA moi dans la nuitDeux grands yeux
ouvertsEt tout m'a sembléComme un champ de bléDans
cet universUn tendre jardinDans l'herbe où soudainLa verveine
pousseEt mon cœur défuntRenaît au parfumQui fait l'ombre
douceIl n'aurait falluQu'un moment de plusPour que la
mort vienneMais une main nueAlors est venueQui a
pris la mienne
