Les images ne sont pas des images, elles sont bien davantage
Comme un chagrin sans cause
Une histoire, un appel, un présage, un poisson qui surnage
La mémoire d'autre chose
Les images ne sont pas des images mais la foudre et l'orage
Et la pluie sur les tuiles
L'arc-en-ciel, l'éclaircie sur la plage, l'horizon qui voyage
L'apparition d'une île
Les images ne sont pas des images mais des instants sans âge
Que la poussière dépose
Des pensées insouciantes et volages ou l'innocent message
D'un sourire qui repose
Les images ne sont pas des images mais les bulles des naufrages
Et la flore des abîmes
Des coraux où les courants font rage, une amphore, un visage
Le passé qui s'anime
Les images ne sont pas des images, la lumière se propage
Et les étoiles explosent
La rivière s'évapore en nuages, l'oasis en mirage
Tout est métamorphose
Les images ne sont pas des images mais la fibre des pages
Où je t'écris ces lignes
Un roseau, la forêt du langage, le mica des rivages
Un univers de signes.
