from L'Arbre
C'est le même arbre qui déplie
au dessus d'un corps à l'arrêt
bras de branches et mains de feuilles
dans la vieille amitié de l'air.
Q'importe le fruit que je cueille!
le plus doux n'est pas moins amer
que le marron d'Inde, et la pomme
se noue au coeur qui la consomme.
– Luc Estang (1952)
