do and exist

the soul unites them

that of meaning

all attentive

an ever-beating heart

thanks to the job

a savage accuracy

devoted obstinate

it’s about seeing

the avenir in advance

in the committed act

something is comming up

it’s the future already present

the eye upside down

see the unity.

Bernard Noël
