LE GRAND JEU 

ANCIENNE   GORGE  QUI EST

Montagne.      Rien  en   engrimpe

VOIX Vers    jou er

Translated into French by T. Amar for Issue 1 of Hauts plateaux.

LETHE

With whiteblind eyes he sees.

Almost glowing his totem head.

Dampness toward them flows

That nothingsmell of wood.

SMOLDERING VOICE

Great hands which churn the earth.

A seminary wilts and dies.

So unknown is even a book

But in the ground the faint white eyes.
