Alain Bosquet
They borrowed a boat
They borrowed a boat:
They can reach the sky.
They take a pebble:
They will use it to build a mountain.
Some verbs take their
They compiled their Bibles,
Brush them a few popular culture
They then draw a sky.
But if you do not believe
It only gave them a look:
They will be built on top of a universe.
(Hu Xiaoyue translation)

No, thank you. Not this body
No, thank you. Not this body!
This pollen was enough for me.
No thanks, not this land!
I am the star laden
Like a gentle camels.
No thanks, not this God!
I believe this
Mocking my rivers:
I belong to the kind of person,
Listen to the advice of hail,
Creation. Is to be delivered to the forgotten face
The invention and creation.
(Hu Xiaoyue translation)
