"
Elle avait sur le ventre
une tache de silence
qui engloutissait la nuit
et faisait taire
les bruits de la lune
.
il avait dans les mains
un puits de douceur sans fin
qui n'était pas effrayé par le silence
et qui savait lui demander dans une danse
si elle était d'accord
pour que ses doigts délicats
la fassent chanter de nouveau
"
