La pointe de l'eau
La fontaine ramassait ses rameaux
L'eau, reconstruite, coulait sous l'arche vert
Embaumant tendrement, en perles de roseaux
Le destin criant du désert
Le roc était méditation
Je connaissais l'exil
Je pleurais seulement, empereur
La pointe de l'eau
Benjamin des cimes
Je jetais ma plume
Dans le ruisseau
