and then, what?(A.Melleby, 10.22.2014)
lay low for a while
long enough
to get as high as it takes
for the kites to envy you
it all looks different from way up there
feeling dizzy
enjoying the perils that define the nothingness
of an irish tale sung by a drunken poet
sung in a pub that never opened
but it all came out loud and clear to me
if it´s as clear to you
I do not know
people come and people go
for lesser reasons than this
even a demented shadow knows that
I came as I was
and so did you
but only one of us
was left to leave
to stay meant forever
I am sorry that wasn´t enough
for you
I came
I conquered
I gave you my everything
my agression spared nothing at all
exposing my spine but never asking for forever
to me, that sees like a very long time
perhaps too long for the both of us
lay low for a while
long enough
to get as high as it takes
for the kites to envy you
it all looks different from way up there
feeling dizzy
enjoying the perils that define the nothingness
of an irish tale sung by a drunken poet
sung in a pub that never opened
but it all came out loud and clear to me
if it´s as clear to you
I do not know
people come and people go
for lesser reasons than this
even a demented shadow knows that
I came as I was
and so did you
but only one of us
was left to leave
to stay meant forever
I am sorry that wasn´t enough
for you
