THE UNNAMEABLE

Once again, I'm sinking into a deep sleep, little by little
becoming lost in some dull and fleeting dreams.
They are a parry to the forbidden areas of thought I suppress,
an unconscious one that goes back far before my birth and perhaps before the birth of mankind.

My body is no longer a mass of soft atoms brushing against each other, separating and finally uniting on this shore, in front of a huge expanse of water. Dark and quiet water under a perfect moon. No more noise, neither in the incessant come and go of the liquid, nor in the thick forest behind me.

The deep silence is here synonymous of danger,
I know that. A pitiless terror rises up in me, unexplained.
Anguish of time, of everything that, finally, I have never learnt to recognize.

I'm transfixed, my eyes are open wide at the unnameable:
a great dark shape that rises up in the middle of this glacial area, higher and higher. My fear extends beyond any rationnality. I'm not a man anymore but a trembling and lost spirit. The shape reveals itself, cranium, gaping eye sockets, deformed mouth, oozing, so big that it could wolf down thousands of people.

But I'm alone in front of this monstruosity,
this nightmare whose distorted image is mine and that of my entire race. A tormented image without hope of redemption or rest,
emerging from the stagnant water. God, here is what the world begets since time infinate, developing itself in darkness and liquid: a sightless and bitter flower, blindly searching for the breast of an absent and mysterious mother.
