Translation from the top, left to right

 

Does there exist a possibility of suppressing this poorly closed wound, of transcending it, or better, of accomplishing it?

_____________________________________

Would the elsewhere explain existence better than existence explains the elsewhere?

_______________________________________________

But what is then this geometry? What resonance to attribute it? Should one even interpret its original roughness at the risk of making disappear its fundamental indetermination?

_______________________________________________

Where to go to hear the secrets of a voice that still possesses the desire and the precious gift to compose stories of ogres, of crows, of needles, of stones, of white-hot stars, of parades, of toothless mouths, of magic wands, and of beasts more benevolent than angels?

 

Translation by Madeleine Vaudremer
