Béatrice Machet Temptation-13-14



# 250 Temptation-13-14

13 

Tentation de langue. Le vol d’oiseaux tant et tant qui frôlent mais fuient. Pas la connaissance non. Pas la route tracée par l’imagination. Pas les cages prévues comme toute case anonyme où l’on entend attacher. Cisaillements d’ailes de piquer en plongée toute une traversée. Tant et tant qui frôle et fuit … et quoi sinon l’humanité. 

Temptation of tongue. Birds’ flight and so many skimming past each other but fleeing. Not the knowledge no. Not the road drawn by imagination. Not the planned cages as all anonymous squares are where one is supposed to be tied into. Shearing of wings from swooping to diving a whole crossing. So much and so much that brushes against and flees … and what is it if not humanity.

Tentation de l’encre. Faire apparaître la montagne au-delà de laquelle tu t’effaces. Les ombres passent et ne sont que des nuages chargés de pensées. Nostalgie ou tristesse feront pleuvoir alors le sombre du monde devient une bouche au-delà du langage et du silence avalé. Et les yeux ont traversé le miroir. Et le pinceau est resté. Et le visage déserté.

Temptation of ink. To make the mountain appear beyond which you steps aside. The shadows pass and are just clouds loaded with thoughts. Nostalgia and sadness will have the rain falling down then the dark of the world becomes a mouth beyond language and swallowed silence. And the eyes crossed the mirror. And the brush stayed behind. And the face was deserted.

  1. Béatrice, I've said it before (and will probably say it again), your Temptations are wonderful. I particularly love "L'Encre". Glorious. Really.
