Illumined Pleasures

Le passé 
Mon enfance 
Eileen deviating from my path 
Some eggs waiting in the sink 
I felt the cold eating my naked feet 
As I killed my last cigarette 
Ma mémoire s’envole 
Vers les horizons 
De mon enfance 
De ma mère 
La silhouette d’Eileen 
Surfaces again 
Takes over 
As I am watching the invasion 
Of the Blue sky 
From the uncovered part 
Of the window.
