J'tais sans doute que l'oiseau d'enfant l dans les archipels froids quand il m'a regard avec ses yeux, avec son ocan antique observe: il n'a eu ni des bras ni des ailes mais de petits avirons durs de ses cts: il tait aussi vieux que le sel; l'ge de l'eau mobile, et lui m'ont regard de son ge: depuis lors je sais que je n'existe pas; Je suis un ver dans le sable. les raisons de mon respect sont demeures dans le sable: l'oiseau religieux n'a pas eu besoin de voler, n'a pas eu besoin de chanter, et par sa forme tait vident son sel saign par me sauvage: comme si une veine de la mer amre avait t casse. Pingouin, le voyageur statique, prtre dlibr du froid, je salue votre sel vertical et envie le votre plumed la fiert. American Review | www.PaperLyon.com | McGill Live Radio | Publish
