Sun was fooling around,
Its light was for starving dogs,
Moon was barking at my heart,
Time was freezing itself
in desperate lakes,
Winter was insulting trees,
cities were hostile,
people thinking they were superior to amino acids,
thoughts mugging imagination.

Sun was fooling around ,
people were fooling around with me too
and it was most crual,
bleeding heart only listened by mirrors,
I came back from China,
I came back from California,
I came back from Brazil,
I came back from countries,
leaving myself behind everywhere.

This is fascinating, Yann!  I love the idea of leaving yourself behind everywhere.

The amino acids left my stomach gurgling a bit, but, then, again, the leaving pieces of yourself here and there, at the same time, gave me a strange hunger for more.

Yo Yann,

It's good you spread yourself around.

I tended to do that in my traveling days.

2islander2 - I've left pieces of me behind in places I enjoyed, perhaps to go back some day and become whole again...
