Thwarted love

Every early spring,
they launch towards the
already deep blue sky,
in search of a soft,
invigorating light.

As days went by,
the matter filaments
branch, densify,
so that they grasp,
lightly embrace.

Then, gravity prevailing,
the long green clusters
dive in turn earthwards,
distancing from one another
at the cost of hot tears poured.

Associated PhotoGraphism

This photograph of a set of weeping willows against a blue sky led to the creation of a photographism entitled « Arbre bleu ». This photographism intertwines colors and branches, reality and imagination, in an infinite labyrinthine spiral.

This photographism is an integral part of an exhibition entitled « PhotoGraphism : Crossed Views » which was presented to the public on three occasions: in 2019 at the Galerie Dominique C. of the Château d'Auriac sur Vendinelle and at the Château des Ducs de Joyeuse in Couiza, in 2021 at the GET Cultural Center in Revel.
