Journal Strangely secure inner fortress

Ce qui saute à pieds joints sur mes yeux de lecteur distrait au creux de la nuit, quand le regard vague, ébloui par le sommeil, je sombre sous les éboulis vermeils, vieille merde émerveillée comme la mer veille sur les rêves mièvres des éveillés, c’est à quel point ce site manque de poésie.

Voici donc cet artificiel poème dont je n’ai pas écrit le moindre vers mais dont je suis l’auteur. Sens l’ombre dont l’un doute et dans laquelle l’autre sombre.
