Believing in mermaids can change your life




































... De Satan ou de Dieu, qu'importe? Ange ou Sirène,
Qu'importe, si tu rends, — fée aux yeux de velours,
Rythme, parfum, lueur, ô mon unique reine! —
L'univers moins hideux et les instants moins lourds?


— Charles Baudelaire (Hymne à la Beauté)

Leaving silently























A parting word?                               
The melting snow                               
is odorless.

My multitudinous interior worlds



























Come visit them!

On the yellow one there's always the sun (remember to carry with you the suntan cream!).
You can visit the green striped one (on the top left corner) only on Fridays because on the other days it's closed (the doorwoman has 6 days off per week).
If you come on the dotted one I will show you my secret machine to make snowflakes out of tofu.
On the sixth planet of the second line (from left to right) you will discover how to convert gold fishes in gold powder only with the power of your mind.
I would like to tell you also about the others globes but now I'm sorry, I've to go on my favorite planet, the one on the bottom right corner. I use to go there every time I want to dream about a multitude of innumerable other different worlds.

Celestial variations



Powder blue over us.
Enchanted by the celestial mechanics.



Looking for our terrestrial Olympus.

Move like this






























Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost.
Pina Baush



On Wednesday, on Thursday, on Friday, on Saturday, on Sunday, on Monday, on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday, 
Thursday, Friday and so on and on... DANCE!
On the red bricks of the sidewalk, on the tiles of your kitchen, into the puddles, on the bed, in the shower, when you're in line, 
washing the dishes, going to the post office, on your porch, on the platform, on eggshells, over the years
on your own grave... DANCE!

Monday of rise and marvels







































A proactive way to kickoff the new week is for sure by taking a walk on the Holy Mountain of Flowers 
under a rose sky, and cotton wool clouds.
Spectacular!
Let's get on top, there we'll drink from the source of the New Week sparkling spring days and a cup of bonjours.

What a moon






























What a moon
the thief arrests a while
to sing a little song.

Where is your home?























Home is where one starts from.
T. S. Eliot

A place to be transparent, careful, pensive, creative, opaque, active, authentic, slaphappy, inebriated, gloomy,
melancholic, broody, nostalgic, pure, genuine, finished, bewitched, defenseless, blessed, lucky, thrilled,
deeply loved
, trusted, easier, sappy, blithe, foolhardy, unlimited...

Because of unreportable sadnesses





























The Poet’s Occasional Alternative
by Grace Paley

I was going to write a poem
I made a pie instead it took
about the same amount of time
of course the pie was a final
draft a poem would have some
distance to go days and weeks and
much crumpled paper

the pie already had a talking
tumbling audience among small
trucks and a fire engine on
the kitchen floor

everybody will like this pie
it will have apples and cranberries
dried apricots in it many friends
will say why in the world did you
make only one

this does not happen with poems

because of unreportable
sadnesses I decided to
settle this morning for a re-
sponsive eatership I do not
want to wait a week a year a
generation for the right
consumer to come along
