SILENCE, Translation of Pierre Emmanuel's poem: Silence by T. Wignesan


The silence PRIOR to silence
	Silence anterior to the ineffable SYLLABLE where silence is born where it’s accomplished in advance
	PERCEPTIBLE syllable distanced by far from pure silence by an immutable very flat zero movement
	By distending explosive the stretch of this A which during an infinite moment dazzles in an INSTANT
	Not EMANATING from any Being not the bearer of any pure breath envelope bathed in Being and breath projecting forward
	Without stirring in the Immense where all sound ceases and vibrates everywhere at the same moment of the drumming of the OCEAN 
	But pushing but howling without a fold which crinkles the horizontal VOID of an imminent effort
	AAAAAAAAAAAAAA  UUUUUUUUUUUUUU*


	U sans end nor cesure after sounding off this A which rushes in to strangle itself in the closing-in of ranks
	U the long neck of the uterus where even before the UNIVERSE is born the process of birth goes on interminably
	Endures fretting as an OBSTACLE to itself and constrains itself into braking its ardent frictioning
	U hole of the zero MOUTH forming a carnal thick-lipped circle to expel what went Earlier on
	Inconceivable is This which thus CONCEIVES itself
UN BORN indestructible and ever more in the act of giving birth
	U channel where the abyssal A devoid of space solitary in the joy of being ITSELF and auto-nourishing
	Great torrent of MILK over-zealous breasts spurting
to satiate the infant’s hunger
	Which is BORN to rise to the marine breasts this blade of the deep on its mouth frothing
	AAAAAAA UUUUUUU MMMMMMM*


	This self-same infant even while it ingests the milk experiences the withholding towards its nourishment
	Feels the retention at the Commencement which is the SOURCE and the mouth from the Being it obtains its sustenance
	The latter not even being aware of its own existence attaches itself on to OMNISCIENCE and there feeds on while asleep 
	The ineffable Syllable is the caress of the MOTHER and the matrix of everything without engendering anything
	Is the accomplishment and the HYMEN of howling silence   the mouth finally filled

	OM*

(from Le grand œuvre, O.C. t. II, p. 993)
