Lumière de Barbe il fait nuit
Le vieux birbe que voici
On y voit comme en plein midi
Ami ami o mon fourmillant tapis
Ta barbe est mon bateau
Ta barbe est mon eau j'y navique
Barbe de flux et d'influx
Bain de barbe et pluie de barbe
Elément tissé de fluides
Tapisserie de récits
De la barbe du birbe
Jean Dubuffet, La Fleur de Barbe (extrait), Mars 1960
