une nuit de kaolin

nobody@ipernity.com (Le miroir de l'aube) — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 06:35:37 +0000

une nuit de kaolin

Dans la nuit de ma ville
vont des murs qui tremblent
vers d'obscures ruelles
aux lumières fragiles,
les pavés qui ressemblent
à des rails charbons
font des tâches de sel
aux lueurs d'un lampion.

Ça ne sent pas la mer
il n'y a pas de vent
juste un peu la rivière
qui file vers le nord,
et les ombres du temps
dans un long corridor
vont se noyer au pont
entre deux réverbères.

Dans la nuit de ma ville
il n'y a pas de chanson
ni d'amour, ni de haine
mais la pluie des saisons,
quelques passants tranquilles
qui remontent les quais
voient de la porcelaine
dans les nuages épais.

La vieille cathédrale
aux murailles dressées
offre un nid vespéral
aux amants délaissés,
les fontaines nocturnes
de ses jardins secrets
abreuvent des pâles lunes
dans d'étranges reflets.

Dans la nuit de ma ville
on attend le matin
en devinant les fils
d'un trolley de hasard ,
puis on va vers la gare
pour regarder les trains
qui emmènent au loin
Valadon et Renoir .

Nice evening, ain't it?
I spose.
Mind if I smoke?
I do. You can't smoke here.
Why not? Who's gonna know?
I'll know. You'll know. That's enough.
What're you gonna do about it?
Well, for starters, I'm gonna take that cigarette outta your mouth. Then I'm gonna break your arm with it.
You don't much like people smoking, do you?
Actually, I don't much like people at all.

Come with me, comrade.
Where are we going?
You've been summoned to appear before the Peoples' Commissariat of Non-Ferrous Metallurgy and Social Enlightenment. Finish your donut.
Summoned? Why?
is it true that you've installed an aluminum wind vane in front of your kommunalka.
You mean, my house? Yeah. So?
And affixed to this device, is there a colorful symbol of a certain Western comic strip character, often referred to by the assumed patronymic of "Snoopy?"
Well, yeah.
Be very careful, comrade. Some might see this as a subversive poisoning of the people's revolutionary ethic.
You don't say. Well, what if I replaced Snoopy with some other symbol, comrade? Say. . . Linus?
Well, that would make a difference. As I'm sure you know, Linus is a well-known anti-capitalist Hero of the Soviet Union. I believe the Committee would look favorably on such a change.
Great!
It might even mitigate the terms of your re-education.
My. . .what?
You are to be assigned to the Workers Shock Brigade at Yakustk Blast Furnace #4.
My god! That's the coldest city on Earth!
The five years will pass in no time. You may even return with most of your fingers, if not toes.
Five years?
Enjoy the rest of your donut. You'll need an ice pick to eat one where you're going.

Il y a 4 ans aujourd'hui ...
... la Vie m'a "poussé" dans une autre dimension, inattendue.
J'ai dû m'adapter au nouveau moi, (ré)apprendre tant de choses et prendre en compte d'autres.
Aujourd'hui je suis une nouvelle version de moi, centrée sur les gens et les choses qui comptent réellement dans la vie, comme être simplement vivant, apprécier la beauté d'un paysage, l'émouvante beauté d'une fleur par exemple.
Je suis reconnaissant et heureux.

4 years ago today ...
... Life pushed me in an other dimension, unexpected.
I had to adapt myself to the new me. I had to (re)learn so many things and take into account others.
Today I am a different, hopefully improved, version of myself, focused on the so simple things that really matters, like simply being alive, or appreciate the beauty of a flower, of a landscape.
I feel so graceful.

Edna, I think it's time we thought about redecorating.
Why Stanley? Our house has such an old retro look.
Frankly, dear, I'm afraid it's a little too old, and a little too retro.
Do you really think so?
I'm pretty sure, Edna.

Michelangelo Pistoletto: ConTatto
Specchio - Segno Arte: Seine Spiegelbilder greifen die menschliche Interaktion auf. Wenn Betrachter vor dem Spiegel stehen, interagieren sie physisch mit den abgebildeten Silhouetten (die oft Gesten mit Händen umfassen), wodurch das Konzept von Identität, Zeit und gesellschaftlichem Miteinander verschmilzt.
Das Motiv der Hand symbolisiert in seiner Kunst oft das direkte Eingreifen des Menschen in die Welt, die Schöpfungskraft und die Geste der Interaktion. Pistoletto ist auch für seine ikonische Skulptur Venus der Lumpen (Venus of the Rags) bekannt, die Konsumkritik übt, indem sie klassische Schönheit mit den Stoffresten konfrontiert, die zum Polieren seiner reflektierenden Oberflächen dienten.

sich fast berühren ... im Spiegel

Es ist nicht ganz geglückt, aber es schwierig ohne Stativ und nur mit dem Handy in der einen Hand zu fotografieren. Die Spiegel in der Ausstellung "Michelangelo Pistoletto" durften natürlich auch nicht berührt werden!! Auch war die Anordnung der Spiegel hier anders.

I give you a confession of moans
I enclose you in the innocence of legs,
like Hercules gutted by the nymph,
even if the sensuality of your arms
suddenly grabs my knees.
you know I'm inflexible
I always give my all.
I want your unknown sweat
running down my groin.
between the muscular contraction and the breathing
in a balancing exercise
your lips sucking the water from my thirst
where nothing and no one exists beyond
desire.

///

QUANDO ME PEDIRES A
VERDADE,

dou-te uma confissão de gemidos
fecho-te na inicência das pernas,
qual Hércules esventrado pela ninfa,
mesmo que a sensualidade dos teus braços
me agarre os joelhos abruptamente.
sabes que sou flexível
e sabes que dou sempre tudo.
quero o teu suor desconhecido
a escorrer-me das virilhas.
entre a contração muscular e a respiração
num execício de equilíbrio
os teus lábios a sugarem a água da minha sede
onde nada nem ninguém existe para além
do desejo,

dans les cordes

Le miroir de l'aube has posted:

Combien de fois
dans les cordes ?

La corde raide
seul espace de vie
contre la paroi :
gravir, remonter
puis descendre
comme un Sisyphe
en toute banalité.

La corde d'un violon cassé
rangé dans une boîte
et qui attend des années
son Ré
avant d'être à nouveau
frottée.

La corde du marin
la rouge et noire
qui chaque matin
attache l'âme
de la tête au pied,
et qu'un seul coup de rasoir
soudain peut couper .

La corde vocale
celle d'une voix aimée
qui liait chaque instant
à tous les mots donnés
et qui se tait , soudain,
dans le silence irrévocable
de l'abandon.

La corde sensible
qu'il ne faut pas montrer,
comme d'une rampe d'escalier
qui tourne
et tourne
à épouser chaque marche
vers un soleil si loin .

Il pleut des cordes
sur la porte du temps
et ça fait le bruit qui détonne
un orage de vie
qu'on dit usée
jusqu'à la corde.

Et pourtant mon Amie,
comme il est beau
notre automne :

avec ses cordes à linge
que balaye le vent,
sa corde de bois
qui nous chauffe le sang,

avec sa corde à noeud
qui nous lie aux saisons
qui nous lit dans le coeur
cordage des corps sages
corsage des corps d'âge
de raison.

Et les cordes
les cordes à nos arcs
que l'on tend
pour lancer une dernière fois
notre flèche du temps.
