Badlands Flashback

Here's my nonprofessional translation from the French:

My body imagines itself My hand understands itself Takes of the gravel A white piece of shell

For an instant A howling The ancient sea Fills this space that was mine

Mobile lozenges Of floating grasses A sudden cry Of blazing birds to the firmament

A group of antelopes Traverse the horizon Sparkling hooves as though made of glass

A laugh rings like crystal In the empty sky Someone dances like a flame
