I am lost in unapproachable light—a spectral broth
I am tasting the screaming silence—the archetypal observer

Those winter palaces unstormed
No tax offices ransacked

To an imaginary friend
At...

I
The beggar outside the supermarket
You swore was picked up later
In a flashy car
Sat there in the sun for 8 hours

We don´t listen to the same blues, you and I.
You don´t hear the bass or the drum or the sounds
That tell you a bit about me.

When my wife asked me to get involved,
And accompany...

While my heart beat out a painful...
