Michèle Métail

Maze – you are here (4)

from map where this place disappears
first vertically with dimensions
by pieces bringing to face standing
in space made heavy by volumes
edified cubes edifices to arise
erected steady, weightiness
towards attractive ground, gravitating
looking for center, a town
dismembered from time, its cut

Dédale – vous êtes ici (4)

Dédale – vous êtes ici (4)

hors du plan où disparaît ce lieu
d’abord vertical aux dimensions
par pans portant à la face l’appui
dans l’espace alourdi des volumes
cubes édifiés édifices à surgir
échafaudés en aplomb, pesanteur
vers le sol attractif, gravitant
à rechercher le centre, une ville
démembrée au temps, son entaille
Close
