Presentation of the book

My luggage left in one of these hotel rooms where human sleeps follow one another, streets and their passers-by now demand me. I walk aimlessly, caring very little for my route. A small notebook goes along with me. Be it a travel diary or a log book, it records, it keeps my pace’s sentences. The softness of the air on my skin. Or the difficult meanders of both twists and turns of thought and love. All towns travel within my body.

En route towards the far-aways. I am looking for the closest. A shower in the mean time … Falls of heaven, falls of signs, such is both my writing desk and viewpoint indicator.
