Aujourd'hui le média Welcome to the Jungle m'a informé qu'ils supprimaient l'entretien que j'avais donné chez eux, 48h après sa mise en ligne et au moment où il dépassait les 230 000 vues. J'y parlais lutte des classes, hiérarchies inutiles et colonialisme. [...]

If Adam Picked the Apple

There would be a parade,

a celebration,

a holiday to commemorate

the day he sought enlightenment.

We would not speak of

temptation by the devil, rather,

we would laud Adam’s curiosity,

his desire for adventure

and knowing.

We would feast

on apple-inspired fare:

tortes, chutneys, pancakes, pies.

There would be plays and songs

reenacting his courage.

But it was Eve who grew bored,

weary of her captivity in Eden.

And a woman’s desire

for freedom is rarely a cause

for celebration.

Wild

Give me silvery strands,

the milky growth of aging

intertwined with the sediment

of youth.

Give me stretch marks

along thighs,

one gleaming stripe

for each year this body

survived winter.

Give me scars and sunspots,

proof of every season

weathered.

Give me laugh lines

like the hyena,

rooted canyons along

eyes and mouth,

impervious to wrinkle cream,

so profound was our joy.

October has long been associated with ghosts—from ancient Celtic festivals to ward off restless spirits after harvest time to the modern standby of using an old sheet to make a last-minute Halloween costume. In the middle of the 19th century, however, popular portrayals of ghosts became a year-round staple, in part because photographers discovered that they could depict them.

The first ghost photographs were accidents. Early cameras required 30 seconds or more to take a photo. If someone wandered briefly into the shot, the resulting picture would contain their ghostly trace superimposed over substantial furniture, buildings or people who had held still for the full exposure.
