A night without you
Is a snail crossing the road,
Paris without lights,
A lighthouse built underground
As if to guide blind worms
Through those fossils,
Those confusing roots of trees,
Those concrete pillars that hold up these buildings;
These buildings that hold up
The sky itself on their heads,
Like girls carrying water
They probably won’t drink…
A night without you
Is what I’m trying to describe here,
But sorry…
It’s too painful to pull out of my heart;
These nails hammered into it
Crying to be taken out,
Yet crying to stay there
Because the blood can flow out
And leave it a shrinking bag of flesh,
A plastic sheet,
A prune…
A night without you
Is what I’m trying to describe here,
But sorry…
It’s too painful.
So I’ll talk about everything else…
