![TOPSHOT - Syrian women walk during a sandstorm near at a temporary refugee camp in the village of Ain Issa, housing people who fled Islamic State group's Syrian stronghold Raqa, some 50 kilometres (30 miles) north of the group's de facto capital on November 10, 2016. The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said their advance on Raqa was being held back by a sandstorm that had hit the desert province. Speaking in Ain Issa, the main staging point for the operation some 50 kilometres (30 miles) north of Raqa, the commander said the sandstorm was also impeding visibility for coalition warplanes. / AFP PHOTO / DELIL SOULEIMANDELIL SOULEIMAN/AFP/Getty Images]()

Une seule main ne suffit pas pour écrire
Par les temps qui courent
il en faudrait deux
Et que la deuxième apprenne vite
les métiers de l'indicible:
broder le nom de l'étoile
qui se lèvera après la prochaine apocalypse
reconnaître entre mille le fil qui ne casse pas
coudre dans l'étoffe des passions
langes, capes, linceuls
sculpter l'aube dans un tas d'immondices
Deux mains ne suffisent pas pour écrire
Par les temps qui courent
et les misères qui grondent
il en faudrait trois, quatre
pour que la vie daigne visiter
ce terrible désert blanc
