A constant movement
Poetic prose through 42 Triptychs
The "triptych" is a literary (or musical) work that is composed of three complementary parts, more precisely of three poles that are distinguished... This is the definition given by dictionaries if we ignore the (most common) one that relates to the Fine Arts. A definition that is taken here in the broad sense of the term and which leads to another, which, of course, is only valid for this collection and only commits the author: Series of three poems that address, as best they can, the same theme, at least with the words when the substance is lacking. An attempt that therefore remains perilous, as it is not always easy to follow the common thread as one would have wished. Hence some frustrations, the admission of which only adds to the confusion. The very one that most closely touches every poet and which is, first and foremost, the consequence of his obsessions, his digressions and his fumbling: all his inability to express an ideal that he claims to carry but that he cannot approach without clumsiness and to which is sometimes added a touch of ingenuity. What remains are the feelings... and the words to translate them! What he cannot cheat on at the risk of losing himself in paths that, sooner or later, would make him regret his walk, this wandering that probably takes him nowhere but on which paradoxically his whole existence rests, and which is therefore essential to him.
