Fougères femelles

Female ferns, La Burthe, Floirac, April 2002.

Live live live

Dance from the depths of time

Wild and tender and invincible dance

Silence cracks everywhere

Each stick unfolds its voice

Frantic music, unstoppable joy of the living that moves

And shakes and rolls and unfolds and vibrates and strikes and stretches

From the leaf to the sap to the clouds

Spores spread on humus

Let everything start over again and again

Nothing stumbles, everything stands up

Step forward and strike the skin of the huge, unique drum
