Sometimes the mountain sings the water, it becomes the narrative of an ancient sea, the invisible relative from whom humans and nonhumans have a legacy in common. His female messengers are made spirals in rocks. They bear the name of fossilized stones. Browsing these writings from distant times as senses reveal them brings back the memory of water where its absence becomes blatant, to the present of our existences. To be intercepted by the narratives of an ammonite is to run the risk of conjuring up, in our current stories, the ghosts from the Cretaceous, Tethys’s song, the lessons from those water creatures that have now vanished, vanishing, but also appearing. Along this article, we’ll practice an ecopoetic listening to the different memories of seas and waters: those that dwell on the text of the fossils from then area of Mont Ventoux, those that dwell on the intimate ecology of bodies, those that make our imaginary space a landscape.
