about

I trapped my screams in a glass jar
and hid it on a shelf.
To avoid ever reaching it by myself,
once I walked down I destroyed the ladder.
Then, I found the way right to my bed
and travelled it for a long time.
Everything came out all in one and
five seconds passed in a while.

I am tired, I'd sleep but
I have this dream I can't give up,
every night, everytime:

(some time ago, among the banks of the Rhone,
again, I got lost.
Where were you? I didn't know until the stars in the sky
drew your sleeping look.)
All night long, I silently gazed at you, having a lot to say
but I did not speak a single word.

I fell asleep in the night shade of the cypresses and I woke up at dawn, in a wheatfield,
with my heartbeat synced to the falling rain.
Later I walked all day the path that leads to the mouth of the river,
hoping to see you there, waiting for me.

Now what is left but the wheezing of a pained old man?
An empty landscape at eternity's gate.

To every raindrop that touches my skin,
I associate a memory that never been.
An image I previously saw in my dreams
that now I'm painting as it were lyrics.
If I dream at night,
I dream of you, in form of light,
of that starry night
when I died at sunrise.
