Viens, ne crains rien, dit-il, je suis celui qui t'aidera à traverser toutes les frontières que tu portes en toi. Approche, n'aie pas peur, je te permettrai d'atteindre ces destinations dont tu rêves depuis toujours, ces édens illicites o les serpents se nourrissent du lait des vierges, charmés par les langues de lumière dont s'illuminent les bouches enténébrées des derniers prophètes.

Avec Pièces à convictions, Marco Geoffroy crée un univers singulier à partir d'éléments de la vie quotidienne auxquels il attribue d'étranges pouvoirs :

ancrés par les rhizomes
mariés à l'amour boréal
Ici, l'amour se présente comme une...
