Je lève mon vers
by Bic Tizon Dife · 2022 · chanson · 4:09 · Haitian Creole, French
BIC writes “Je lève mon vers” where the familiar French expression would lead readers to expect “verre.” The sound is unchanged, but the spelling raises a line of verse instead of a glass, turning writing itself into a celebratory gesture. This 2022 chanson runs four minutes and nine seconds on the BICtizondife channel. Its classification places text at the front without permitting the page to invent unavailable lyrics. The title already demonstrates the artist’s craft: take a known expression, move one letter, and open another meaning. It is a toast made from language, with a poetic line lifted before the room.
