beyond the window
immaterial world
mixed clinks
voices and glances
carry in them
a dazzling loneliness
I can see you every morning
sneaking among the things
thrown upside-down all over the room
with your bare ballerina feet
and your nipples panting under the light drops
while drinking tea like in a Buddhist ritual
comme un miroir printanier
ton visage reste encore jeune
dans la beauté musicale de tes mots
dans ta lumière
dans ton jardin secret
cet instantané de soleil
garde l’écho
simplement moi
durant tout l’hiver
je pense à toi.
I thought we could be together for ever
But now I realise it was just an escape,
The sweet dream of today’s sinner
Like the passing taste of a choky grape.
I never realised the rose was sear
That love could be my whipper
And my heart will scream for fear
Of my loneliness going deeper.
The darkness it’s my haven
And I’m a mouse in a cat’s paw
For me there is no heaven
the world is pouring into you
a waterfall
a rush
a once in a lifetime
you drink your usual earl grey
milk, no sugar
under a pile of clouds
you feed your pigeons in squares
and think:
am I too old for this
what shall I wear tonight?
your streets are blushing with joy
like the cheeks of a woman in love
I too am in your blood,
a cocktail of sounds,
I hold a little boy’s hand
and in his eyes,
two blue wide screens,
you slowly open up your robes
and wave
