Artemisa e Danae, Gentileschi

je suis

la femme nue couchée
en travers du lit

le corps transfuge perdu
dans les décombres

le regard qui sombre
dans les terrains vagues

le coeur qui prend
le vent de travers

(ta) femme nue

sans ombre

(May)be

never knowing
never holding
never being sure
never ruling
never disapproving
never definitely nearly
and never really far

just remembering
just using lures
just smiling
just thinking
just dreaming
just sleeping
and dreaming again afar

et soudain

je ne supporte plus

le silence!

"There have always been and always will be people who simply exude sex (who breathe it, who sweat it) (...). The young Brando, Madonna, Cleopatra, Pam Grier, Valentino, Michelangelo's David (...). You can't fight that kind of marvellous indiscriminate power, for it is not always symmetry or beauty per se that does it (...) and there are no means by which you can gain it. Surely the oldest American sentence is relevant here, pertinent to matters economic, politic and romantic: you either got it or you don't".

in White Teeth, Zadie Smith
