Comme un papillon de mai

Oil, mixed media, canvas 150x150x3 cm

...

Comme je descendais des Fleuves impassibles,
Je ne me sentis plus guidé par les haleurs :
Des Peaux-Rouges criards les avaient pris pour cibles
Les ayant cloués nus aux poteaux de couleurs...

...

Si je désire une eau d'Europe, c'est la flache
Noire et froide où vers le crépuscule embaumé
Un enfant accroupi plein de tristesses, lâche
Un bateau frêle comme un papillon de mai.

Arthur Rimbaud Le bateau ivre

Le bateau ivre - central part of a triptych inspired by Arthur Rimbeaud
