Vendredi
Language:
French
Rires dans du soleil,
Ivoire! Agenouillements timides, les paumes comme des palmes,
Ingénuités de singe, douceur et caresses, simplicité du chevreau,
Douceur et caresses,
... Vendredi! Que tu étais net, les mains aux genoux,
éclaboussant de la lumière, quand près de Lui,
tu promenais le ruissellement bleu de tes membres!
Maintenant l'on t'a fait cadeau d'une défroque rouge.
Tu bois l'huile des lampes et tu voles au garde-manger;
tu convoites les jupes de la cuisinière
parce qu'elle est grasse et sent le poisson;
tu mires aux boutons de ta livrée
tes yeux fourbes et ton rire devenu vicieux.
