      At a time when everyone remains cloistered in their terror, At a time when idiots behind their keyboards from morning until evening type their eternal morbid obsessions” get vaccinated, get vaccinated ”, it is good to hear at times a hymn to life. And yes, despite what hits us head on, let us know how to enjoy the happiness of life. Reggiani tells us this in a wonderful way

      what Boris Vian tells us in a very Rimbaldian style

      I don't want to die

      Before having known

      Black dogs of Mexico

      Who sleep without dreaming

      Bare ass monkeys

      Devourers of the tropics

      The silver spiders

      In the nest full of bubbles

      I don't want to die

      Without knowing if the moon

      Under his false air of money

      On one pointed side

      If the sun is cold

      If the four seasons

      Are really only four

      Without having tried

      To wear a dress

      On the grand boulevards

      Without having looked

      In a sewer manhole

      Without having put on my cock

      In weird corners

      I don't want to finish

      Without knowing leprosy

      Or the seven diseases

      That we catch there

      The good nor the bad

      Wouldn't hurt me

      If yes if I knew

      That I will have the New Year

      And there is also

      All I know

      Everything I like

      That I know who I like

      The green bottom of the sea

      Where the strands of seaweed waltz

      On the wavy sand

      The roasted grass of June

      The cracking earth

      The smell of conifers

      And the kisses of her

      Than this than that

      This beauty is

      My Teddy Bear, Ursula

      I don't want to die

      Before having used

      His mouth with my mouth

      Her body with my hands

      The rest with my eyes

      I won't say any more

      Stay reverential

      I wouldn't want to die

      Without having invented

      Eternal roses

      The two hour day

      The sea in the mountains

      The mountain to the sea

      The end of the pain

      Color newspapers

      All the children happy

      And so much more

      Who sleep in skulls

      Great engineers

      Jovial gardeners

      Concerned socialists

      Urban planners

      And thoughtful thinkers

      So much to see

      To see and hear

      So long to wait

      To search in the dark

      And I see the end

      Who swarms and who comes

      With his ugly face

      And who opens his arms to me

      Of a crooked frog

      I don't want to die

      No sir no ma'am

      Before having felt

      The taste that torments me

      The taste that is the strongest

      I don't want to die

      Before having tasted

      The taste of death...

      Another beautiful poem from Dimey

      The children of Luxor

      When I feel, some evenings, my life unraveling
      And a flock of vultures hover around me,
      To keep my cool, I feel in my pocket
      A stone picked up in the Valley of the Kings.
      If I died tomorrow, I would have in my memory
      The impeccable drawing of a golden sarcophagus
      And to accompany me along the black banks
      The bright smile of the children of Luxor.

      Inside you know you have to go down
      With slow steps, in the dark and without letting go of the thread,
      Calm and silent, without trying to understand,
      To the rhythm of the boats gliding on the Nile,
      It's true, life is nothing, dreams are too fast,
      We love each other, we tear each other apart, we show our teeth,
      However, I would have liked to build my Pyramid
      And that all my friends could sleep in it.

      How many papyrus rolled up in my head
      Will not see the light of day...or will be forgotten
      As fast as me?… My legend is getting ready,
      I am like a desert that has been poorly searched.
      If I died tomorrow, I would no longer have fear
      Neither from the beak of the vulture nor from the eye of the cobra.
      They ruled over so many extinct dynasties…
      And time, like a river, with the strength of the arms...

      The children of Luxor are four millennia old,
      They dance on the walls and always in profile,
      But they know how to free themselves from stones effortlessly

      As the sun sets over the Nile.
      I'm thinking of leaving without anyone noticing
      Neither the good nor the bad that will be said about me
      But I will put everything at the bottom of my boat
      The stone picked up in the Valley of the Kings

      In the gardens of my memory,
      On the calm waters of a pond
      Where the unicorns come to drink
      I saw your eyes reflected.
      I fear the spells
      And only approach me trembling
      To better let myself be trapped
      That I feared for so long.

      In the Mandrake garden
      I venture out every night,
      Walking until dawn
      Despite your shadow that follows me.
      The phoenix bird with its superb flight
      Can disappear and come back,
      His ashes scattered in the grass
      You make me remember.

      In the blue garden of hopes
      I saw the peacocks dancing at night
      On the arpeggios of silence
      Where does my boredom end up?
      But at the first breath of breeze
      The sound of your voice comes back to me
      And the dream suddenly breaks,
      Nothing remains of our love.

      Under the Mirabeau Bridge by Serge Reggiani

      Poetry is music, that's why, in my opinion, it must be listened to and not just read

      magnificent Bernard Dimey

      BECAUSE I LOVE YOU…
      you will have to come with me, on the roads
      bathed in sun and moon, day after night
      along the hollow paths which outline the ribs of the world
      to infinity,
      At dawn, at the dew,
      white sun rising to the zenith
      before being swallowed up, a disk of living blood, in
      the calm waters of the sea…

      At random crossroads and deserted squares,
      villages without churches, houses without windows, land
      waves without children, without police or thieves.
      By the forest paths, where we will flush out
      frightened deer,
      through the merciless streets of cities of steel, of smoke,
      pylons and noise
      and by the desert tracks.

      BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
      you will have to follow me through the sand and the stones,
      through fear and thirst,
      and then one day I will drag you into the depths
      of the sea and we will walk side by side, through
      the coral gardens…
      The anemones with slender and fierce fingers will wave
      feverishly at the passing of our love
      and the monsters of the abyssal prairies will open their
      multiple eyes where phosphorus flourishes…

      The ray, with slowed wings, will precede us across
      The savannahs of blue and purple algae.
      And we will walk side by side, surrounded by fish
      of Apocalypse, with clawed fins, with golden eyes
      green, with diamond jaws.

      We will go, hand in hand, along the paths
      strangers lost at the bottom of the ocean,
      without disturbing the sleep of large sleeping crustaceans
      for millennia.
      We will go slowly, walking on sponges,
      discovering ancient, Cretan or
      Phoenicians,
      and I will offer you the bracelets of white gold thanks to which
      a sailor dead for twenty centuries hoped to win
      the favors of a Roman courtesan
      before disappearing one night into the sea.

      BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
      you will have to follow me everywhere,
      I will take you to all the pilgrimages and all the
      sanctuaries will open their doors to us.

      We will go and pray together, prostrate side by side,
      mixed with believers of all races, with penitents
      of all the colors,
      so that all possible gods protect our love
      and extend it…
      In the swirling sun of Mecca I will collect
      for you the torn voice of the muezzin, escaped from his
      throat like a twisted flame and the wind
      burning, mixed with sand, knotted and twisted around
      minarets of the holy city.

      We will buy prayer wheels in a
      lamasery on the road
      and we will climb together the incredible slopes that
      lead to the roof of the world...
      And you will follow me to the top of Mount Everest, because I
      want to get as close as possible to the sky with you

      BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
      If necessary, we will spend a whole night meditating,
      in a smoky monastery, among the monks
      mask of purest serenity
      whose shaved head seems as perfect as the old ones
      pebbles shaped by the oceans since the earliest days
      of the world…

      We will listen to the oldest of them speak,
      without understanding a single word, a single syllable, but we
      Let's go together to kiss the bottom of her dress and impregnate ourselves
      of his goat's smell

      BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
      we will plunge our bodies at the same moment into
      the rotten water of the Ganges, in Benares

      We will seek purification in the swirls of
      this giant river which stirs together the cursed excrement
      of the untouchable pariah and the priceless ashes of
      Late Mahatma.

      BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
      your eyes must not be deprived of a single one
      wonder,
      all the shows in the world;
      all enchantments are due to you.
      And it's me who will lead you along the tracks
      innumerable astonishment.

      We will go and taste mint tea, squatting on mats
      and we will see the Ouled-Nails dance to the body of
      liana and snakes in heat.

      Perched on a snow camel, you will follow me
      from one oasis to another, between the sparkling dunes, under the
      sky studded with gold
      along the silent tracks.

      Before our eyes, the black scorpion will court the rose of
      sands, and the mirage of thirst will rise before, on
      a distant horizon at every moment, cathedrals of
      crystal and salt organs…

      The matador with the smile engraved on a Cordoba leather mask
      will throw the toro's ear towards you, my love,

      and your swallow's heart will open the same evening, when the moon
      in its perfect roundness will climb the steps of the troop,
      slowly on the sky,
      at a time when guitars bloom and sob
      endlessly...

      BECAUSE I LOVE YOU

      you will have to follow me tirelessly and never close your eyes.
      You will come and get lost with me in the stupid crowd
      who turns around fool rides like the donkey
      around the noria…

      we will drink hot beer and aramon with them
      fairground dive
      in order to participate in the republican disgust
      maintained by terrible smells of frying.

      You will follow me on the Ferris wheel and on the Tower of Babel,
      which allows today's man to go back to the monkey
      for a pittance.

      We will both go back there,

      BECAUSE I LOVE YOU…

      Later,
      we will follow the medieval processions barefoot
      black or gray penitents, hidden under their
      hoods to the terrifying Spanish Good Fridays.

      We will go and mingle at lavish parties and
      formidable, during which swirl
      tirelessly on themselves, great niggers
      screaming,
      hidden under a disguise of birds with plumage
      of incredible splendor.

      We will spend whole nights filming
      among the masks carved in ebony,
      leopard claw necklaces and canine bracelets,
      in the dizzying and furious anger of the dance and
      spells.
      Together,
      squatting in the dust, we will go and drink the fresh blood,
      our mouth stuck to the gaping artery of the slain buffalo and we
      we will distinguish the reflection of our faces in his wide open eyes,
      still alive...

      BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
      I will invite around your bed
      a troupe of Chinese jugglers, who will be able to bewitch plates
      and transform the sails with a single gesture and a smile
      of silk which will become clouds and storms
      and from which flights of cranes and herons will escape…

      BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
      I will know how to find out for you
      edelweiss and black rose,
      the jade flute and the moonstone,
      the phoenix bird and the nightingale of the Emperor of China,
      a lamb from Bethlehem and Veronica’s linen.

      And you,
      you my love, because you don't love me
      I know that you will offer me the crowing of the rooster three times,
      the kiss of Judas,
      the arrow and the poison,
      the flute and the cobra.
