Ô naturel désir...

Guillaume Apollinaire 1880 (Rome) – 1918 (Paris)



Ô naturel désir pour l'homme être roi
On est revêtu de la carte de son royaume
 Les fleuves sont des épingles d'acier semblables à tes veinesroule l'onde trompeuse de tes yeux
Le cratère d'un volcan qui sommeille mais n'est pas éteint
C'est ton sexe brun et plissé comme une rose sèche
Et les pieds dans la mer je fornique un golfe heureux
C'est ainsi que je l'aime la liberté
Et je veux qu'elle seule soit la loi des autres
 Mais je suis l'ennemi des autres libertés
