To burn [...] is to refine.
— ROGER GILBERT-LECOMTE ⚜️ BLACK MIRROR: The Selected Poems of Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, transl. by David Rattray, (2010)
Your black marble heart [...] the thunderous tree of your veins, the ghost coral of your arteries.
— ROGER GILBERT-LECOMTE ⚜️ BLACK MIRROR: The Selected Poems of Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, transl. by David Rattray, (2010)
You rise [...] a Levantine scourge roaring at the dark wood’s heart. [...] You, excessive cherub You, king of change.
— ROGER GILBERT-LECOMTE ⚜️ BLACK MIRROR: The Selected Poems of Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, transl. by David Rattray, (2010)
Her tragic flesh draped in a silk of tremors [...] shimmering the mirror of great waters.
— ROGER GILBERT-LECOMTE ⚜️ BLACK MIRROR: The Selected Poems of Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, transl. by David Rattray, (2010)
Oh those hypnotic eyes...
— ROGER GILBERT-LECOMTE ⚜️ BLACK MIRROR: The Selected Poems of Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, transl. by David Rattray, (2010)
In your bosom I lay the offering of balm and venom mixed [...] In the caves of being that are the antechambers of annihilation.
— ROGER GILBERT-LECOMTE ⚜️ BLACK MIRROR: The Selected Poems of Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, transl. by David Rattray, (2010)
Her hair is a Hurricane Her eyes an eclipse. [...] Embodying the night Black flame the double mystery.
— ROGER GILBERT-LECOMTE ⚜️ BLACK MIRROR: The Selected Poems of Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, transl. by David Rattray, (2010)
