The top section of the  ruche  is lifted off, revealing internal  parallèle  layers of comb-carrying frame. We see  Jacob  as he bends to place the  peigne  on the  sol . Read these lines right to left, bottom to top. Streets and avenues, windowless apartments filled with words,  corps ,  abeille , smells, sealed rooms filled with food...     Quand j'étais parmi mes abeilles mésopotamiennes, je pensais toujours à combien les choses avaient changé.
