5.0

Je me fais peur. Je sais qu'il coule en moi autre chose que les larmes et le sang. Je charrie la fureur.

J'étais venu au monde parce qu'une femme avait aimé un homme. Elle était repartie sans avoir eu le temps de m'aimer. l'étais une bouche en trop, je suis devenu un cœur en plus.

L'antinationalisme? C'est le luxe de l'homme qui a une nation.

Et puis il a tiré. Deux coups. Un troisième, juste après. Cette fois sans trembler, sans que je sente rien venir. Son corps était raide de guerre. Mes larmes n'y ont rien fait. Ni la beauté d'Aurore, ni la fragilité de Louise, ni mon effroi. Il a tiré sur la ville, sur le souffle du vent. Il a tiré sur les lueurs d'espoir, sur la tristesse des hommes. Il a tiré sur moi, sur nous tous. Il a tiré sur l'or du soir qui tombe, le bouquet de houx vert et les bruyères en fleur.
