LASCAUX
 
 
at the Cinema Lascaux
(image over image)
cuts:
centuries of klee
  
cross-sections of colors
in the drawings of Kane
in the bellae voices
(Billie & Ella)
in her crossed legs
in front of the TV
  
chance-like magic
coloring
as if by accident
the dark cavern
in which we find ourselves
  
 
 
    
RAREFACTUS
 
 
No human voice           here           speaks out
an anarchic phantom pours,            demolisher
 
full nothing in the emptiness of this desert       
offers itself as absence,                     nail flesh
 
                 silent scent in the wind          slope
spectre's cross-section     at rest      in the water
 
all that in  silence      flows in due time  echoes
