    About this ebook

    Il y avait du sang sur le sol de la salle d’abattage de l’abattoir Swift, mais Gitta et Frieda ne le voyaient pas, occupées à lécher leurs sucettes. Un sans-abri lit à la lueur d’une bougie. À quelle page est-il ? Un homme se cache dans le bar Al & Jack pour échapper au sermon de monseigneur Barron. Des prostituées bon marché crient « Tu montes, monsieur ? » La théorie des nœuds est prouvée. Dans un bar miteux de Berlin-Est, en 1960, une femme juive qui a été à Dachau écoute la musique du film “Le Troisième Homme” jouée au piano. Pendant ce temps, au cabaret l’Opus I, Louis-la-Fouine chante : « Il est dingue ce troquet. Il est vraiment dingue, ce troquet. »

      La Marmon blanche est garée devant le cabaret L'Opus One - Erich von Neff

      La mère blonde

      et la fille blonde

      d’environ six ans

      passaient dans Balboa Street

      devant le Slavic Bookstore**

      Devant la Cinderella Bakery***

      Pendant qu’elles marchaient la mère blonde

      a passé son bras au-dessus d’elle et tordu le bras de la fille blonde

      « Maman ! Maman ! Tu me fais mal ! »

      Elle les a tordus et tordus encore****

      Le bras blessé

      L’âme blessée

      « Maman ! Tu me fais mal ! »

      Elle les a tordus et tordus encore.

      * 16 février 2015, San Francisco, à 14h00 environ.

      ** The Slavic Bookstore (La librairie slave), 332 Clement Street.

      *** Cinderella Bakery and Café (Boulangerie et café Cinderella), 436 Balboa Street.

      **** Twist and twist again (N.d.T.).

      1491*

      1491 Shattack Avenue à Berkeley (Californie)

      1491 n’est pas un nombre premier

      1491 est l’année d’avant l’arrivée de Christophe Colomb

      en Amérique du sud

      D’avant la boucherie et la mise en esclavage en masse

      des Amérindiens

      Au 1491 Shattack Avenue à Berkeley

      des journaux recouvrent les fenêtres

      de la librairie fermée Books Incorporated

      Des sans-abri sont assis à la porte

      un peu à l’abri de l’averse

      Un jeune homme aux cheveux roux joue de la guitare

      Une blonde aux cheveux mouillés joue de l’harmonica

      Un Noir tient un chien en laisse

      Quelqu’un est blotti sous une couverture

      Au 1491 Shattack Avenue

      Hors de la pluie

      Hors du vent

      on joue un pot-pourri que personne n’écoute

      On tient un chien en laisse

      Quelqu’un remue sous une couverture

      Des journaux recouvrent les fenêtres

      Il y a seulement quatre personnes

      Deux jouent de la musique

      Une tient un chien en laisse

      Une se blottit sous une couverture

      * Novembre 2013, Berkeley (Californie).

      Daniel*

      Il était une ombre sous le reverbère

      Il était assis sur le trottoir, la main tendue

      L’homme devant moi a donné quelque chose

      La Chinoise devant lui a donné quelque chose

      Il était 18h00 – il faisait sombre

      On sentait la tempête** d’hiver

      qui attendait au-dessus de la mer agitée

      et prévue dans trois heures

      Bulletins météo du journal, de la radio, de la télévision :

      « Il va y avoir les pluies les plus fortes depuis des années. »

      Et puis je lui donné quelque chose

      « Daniel », a-t-il dit

      « Vous pourriez vous asseoir dans la bibliothèque », lui ai-je suggéré

      « Je n’entends pas. Ecrivez », a-t-il répondu

      Même pour ces quelques mots

      sa voix était celle d’une personne

      qui a eu de grandes difficultés pour apprendre à parler

      J’ai haussé les épaules et je lui ai donné une casquette en laine

      que j’avais de trop dans ma voiture

      « Ne vous inquiétez pas pour moi », a-t-il dit

      en se la mettant sur la tête

      « Vers le bout de la Neuvième Avenue,

      Je peux m’abriter de la pluie. »

      Les gens ont continué à lui donner de l’argent

      Les gens se dépêchaient de rentrer chez eux

      Je me dépêchais de rentrer chez moi

      Trois heures ont passé

      La pluie est arrivée

      par torrents

      et avec des éclairs

      L’abri au bout de la Neuvième
