HELISSIO SUR EQUUS...la revue

Arc 96 : Pilsudski is 6 furlongs behind...

Le Mythe du Cheval Blanc.

... Grand crack, cheval idéal, tu te tiens sur un fil...

Amours parfaites, chevaux invincibles, vous n'existez pas. Dogmes irréalistes, poésies d'aliénés, vous n'êtes là que pour brûler l'âme du tendre et, inéluctablement, le transformer en fou. Immuable prétention, offerte à tous et toutes, de se prendre pour un crack quand Eros fait briller les lumières de l'âme de l'autre.
