YOU, I AND THE TOWER

From Sydney Tower
And space is dark
I saw the land planted with light,
I saw the aurora riding a horse
Its steps are like printed stars.

I saw the moon's eye winking at the waves
And letting the lights dance on the water.
You're opposite me filming the views
And the camera is my eye.

I don't know if it was me
Or the tower who was drunk.
The world was running opposite it,
Its head was full
It shook it with boredom
And knitted the evening its scarf.

Like a lie, the fog showed up
Waking the rain
Which was escaping the hunger,
Wiping shores
Smeared with fire,
Scratching windows with its tears.

The rain had neither abolished a dream
Nor smothered a city
I've hidden Sydney in the film,
My beloved
Hide me in your heart.
