Abandoned terminal
"A young man with abstract features bearing no luggage..."
Every day for hours,
I'm waiting on my station platform,
This train of all happiness,
The one who only comes once in three.
In universal silence,
Queen of the desert and the cold,
I watch a spark in the distance,
This train that would take you to me...
If sometimes I would burn my gold,
To get you off the wagon,
My unknown, my unreason !
If sometimes I still dream,
From a simple one-way trip,
Of a simple gone forever !
If some have forgotten,
This abandoned terminus,
By attrition or fatality,
I know that one day I will see...
A young man with abstract features,
Carrying no baggage,
And in his hand an old note,
And the strength of his age...
If sometimes I would burn my gold,
To get you off the wagon,
The soul naked and without reason !
If sometimes I wish your body
Be one at dawn,
do nothing but a (die)………
Again no one came
My station platform remained empty,
I don't give up, I carry on,
This fight that gives me wrinkles….
