When Midnight Comes,

Jef, the Great Automaton …
Est-ce quelque dedale ou ta raison perdue
ne se retrouve pas?
Fr. De Malherbe

When midnight comes, Jef, the great automaton proudly says the words, eternal words and deceptive and futile, yet so advantageous for the satin eyes we loved, remember? Do you remember or would you rather try to tame them into a siren’s voice in the nets of their hair, which mercilessly ploughed the knitted and turned-off lamps of the flowing water…the flowing voices…the imagination…of the great erotic beds. Nothing of all these? Nothing. Then, the heights are meant for us. We must focus on the heights. Like the nihilist, who sprouts up in the air like a live flower. And as we must come down from the heights, let us do so. But, then again, with flowers, like flowers, with palaces, with spring music, with words of love and eyes of love. Set aside, be joyous, with your big eyebrows and open the big eyelids of the cloud. Look: the metal flutes are in a straight line over the carpet of dew. Here is what we call joy. Yes, this is known as the tender touch of a beloved woman. This is the law of life, the frontman of the sun, the sun of silence. Pay attention to these words. They have many obvious and hidden meanings. They are words full of metaphysical concepts, they are the depths of bitterness and mountains of joy. They are words life says, words the noisy piano key of love says, the bronze echo of love, Jef, the midnight great automaton.
