Questioning
Oh Seigneur, Je n’entends plus, Je suis un pêcheur, Avec mes pensées absolues. Où êtes-vous, Ne me laissez pas toute seule, Êtes-vous dégout, Avec mon engueule. Prends pitié, Même si je suis damné, Même si vous ne pouvez pas le justifier, Avec votre ton suranné....

French films of your youth
one look full of longing later in the glow of electric lips a brush with the unknown... those were the French films of your youth your concomitant struggles for love rambling through the summer heat gliding in the seaside breeze down in the deep dead blue to yearn, to be strangely stranded among the widowed twin tides in your sleepy demeanour still craving your only...
