Grass

Poem in automatic writing about « Grass »
Look out your window at home, and think of an important memory. Sculptures made by artists from all countries, in relation to each other in sunny nature of Burkina Faso (Laongo park). In nature, objects sing to give themselves courage. Nature is a computer. Nothing happens, and yet everything happens. [At the water’s edge, we confide in each other.] When images and objects close to the body lead to shared collective memories of important moments. The correspondences between the rain, which burns the glasses, which prevents to see, and the denialist theses on the agenda of the media for a few moments, which are also ways to still not want to see. To set foot, and then, step by step, to feel the souls of this place. To see oneself in front of the roots of a tree.
