Comme souvent, elle donne lieu à l'écriture d'un poème en rebond sur l'oeuvre :
"Cueillir les rêves qui flottent, nus et colorés, dans les chemins noirs et parfumés de la nuit. À l’envers du miroir mouiller le tain avec mes larmes et maîtriser ma peur. Sur un ventre soyeux, poser mes lèvres. Dans la lumière d’un songe de glace écrire ébloui ton nom et mourir."
