from Nicole Brossard: Selections

tr. Pierre Joris

everything gels white

in happy time

deep dark also

all chaos when your hand passes too much

then departure for

belly thus all is there

as sprout as latency

oversteps the mark and never restricts itself

curved line never gels in the past

what the belly espouses up front

in my saying naked

the colour though fictive so true

cuts in the delirious black

mutual attractions

when intimate renewal

appropriates from

us locks in together

displace the shadow so slowly

around us

that the bonds move very initiatory

between the lines the liquid slides

and imposes itself novel

thus from the body pleasure gushes

delicious humidity the mauve rests

and inscribes itself radiant fixity

afterward it’s so little

once time’s slid out of reach

afterward it’s however

to retrace one’s steps

when the figures put forward rip

it’s only initial and doesn’t stop being so

the movement

displacing distorting

the horizon the horizon broken

always too imponderable

to act and tend

in the risen night

toward the hidden places

to act swaying between

the world rhythm the authentic

doubly silence pours forth carnal

again and without cease

entrancing contrast

that reworks the outlines

draws them away from the goal

forces our orientation

again

and time shakes from not being eternal

there is the palpable night shifts feverish

that is to say disconcerting verbal variant

oh how the invariable ‘elsewhere’ tames the pronoun

in this imprecise zone of the present

never was the ephemeral so close to the trap

yet it is a matter of the same saying

between charm and trap, it oscillates

suspension of the act

to understand is a sojourn

excluding any definition

to breathe to show nothing

though everything rushes in

perpetual face

no matter the mask

in these opaque times heaven hauled that many frenzies

with a single signifying stroke when the saying leaks

the word massacre(s)

intensity first of all

by probing further ahead further

down

farther away

the formula is born

from where does one know it by what by a point

thus vibrant for it nourishes and weighs fully

on the meaning and the counter

in gender agrees with unruly in number

and moves

liaison

the more it precedes the ink

pushes precisely (before) outside and inside

transition

or

droll these signs empty and blue despite

even if (that is to say although)

restriction

nevertheless

explication

vague it is

because too much space between the words

vague and beautiful to consume the liaison

as soon as it enunciates itself

paradoxically future and past engender

at the same time

that moment when it goes without saying that crossing

it happens that black/black badly cross-rules

the white spaces

limit of contrast

thus sparkles the artifice and exposes itself

eventual accomplishment

all on the surface

from riot to fabulous sonorous suites

the said connection erasure

double exasperation

the code struts the code analyses the code dictates

and at the exact opposite the tender code appears

between code and code space is illusory

no place conducive to denunciation

terminology modifies

the code infiltrates

the least attempt at resistance

henceforth meaning will be double

one too many

the artifice is inevitable

here’s how.
