I walked this path before. I dreamt of dead ends. Rooms with no windows. Hidden alcoves. Semi Monde ! I’ve been aching not to fall I talk too much too loud. I drink too much too fast. Rage that grows on you. You end up empty hearted You fall over and over. You can’t phrase your thoughts. You pray to the void. Suddenly you hit the floor ! We run out of breath. Can’t fake our feelings. We raise our hands up in the sky. Up the sky ! I’ve been aching not to fall. Life and Limb. I’ve been aching not to fail. We Are Unstoppable. We’re fearless like wolves and beasts We Are Unmovable. We’re not afraid We’re strong and proud. We’re a fortress.

“But even so, every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles. The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening metallic gleam of razor blades. I could hear the roots of loneliness creeping through me when the world was hushed at four o'clock in the morning.” Haruki Murakami "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" (1997)

Est-ce une terre qu’on voit là-bas ? Un désert froid ? Inconnu. Je me rappelle d’une route, une ville. Une soif du Nord me dévore. J’étais sauvage. J’avais peur. Embarqué dans une nuit. Interminable. Incandescente. Un culte obscur du soleil. Est-ce une mer ? Une terre de glace ? Quelque chose de bleu. Instants Damnés. Fantasmés. J’voudrais toujours être ailleurs ! A NEWFOUNDLAND. ULTIMA THULÉ THE GREAT NORTHERN. FINIS TERRAE TERRA INCOGNITA. TERRA NOVA PENINSULA. FINIS TERRAE.

Tel est le jour. Telle est l’aube. Je marche sur des fins nuits. De promesses vaines. Une aube mirage. De l’or pourtant, pavait les rues. Le jour se lève … Tel est le jour. Telle est l’aube. Crépusculaire. Impénétrable. Je sors des murs. Aveuglé. Nos corps de plomb. T’en souviens-tu? Tel est le jour. Telle est l’aube. Désenchantée. Sans dieux ni rêves. An afterhour in pagan land. La terre se dérobe. Mon corps se penche. Blinded by the lights. Un semi monde. Evanoui. Guided by voices. Un semi monde. Eblouis. Voici le jour. Tel est le jour. Pourquoi le jour ?
