Bénédicte Houart

in the beginning was the word

in the beginning was the word and

the word became you

flesh that I savour

in the randomness of time and

which never satisfies me

in the randomness of life

no princípio era o verbo e

o verbo fez-se tu

carne que saboreio

ao acaso do tempo e

que nunca me sacia

ao acaso da vida
