“you will need an infinite patience to learn again
to love as not long ago a fire lost in the distance
halting you at the fall of day
somewhere in the unknown of a desert —
you ask only to be able to touch
at times the heat of a gentle beating,
light as a bird’s slip-stream
which breaks the circle of sight
[…]
little by little the sea sinks in itself
in the unique trait of a brushstroke
and I hear for a long time in the darkenss
the sound of the water, my only thought —
from "Nuits”

“A mon sens, dans ma façon de « voir », de « comprendre », l’image, la vision que propose ma photo, ne veut surtout rien « garder », seulement proposer un sentiment de découverte, d’approfondissement soudain, de perception de ce que j’appelle ouverture, de clarté qu’on pourrait dire intuitive.”

“the air veined with balancings
in the rootless spaces where endless
worlds are formed and dissolve
snow duvet dancing in the night
beating in the heart’s ear
of a language so close to being here —
memory of snow on the skin
melted flakes of past images
edgeless night on the edge of memory
clouds assemble and dilate
the straw thrown into the light
bright plovers turning under the wind
I listen again to what ear throat
fingers and brain extract in a moment
from the endless flowing stream of things
a water that transports friable words
which we pass from hand to hand
from mouth to ear, bits of mourning and clarity —
low voices and the footsteps become clear
the embers of a life roll on without brakes
red of a morning, of another sunset
in the gorges, on the broken stonefields
someone within me listens relentlessly
to the inaudible beating in things.
