I’m gazing at the platforms and the melting rails the sunlight hurts my eyes and blurs all the details, the station, like a hive, buzzes, and its fat Queen Bee stands behind the counter in the bar where you left me, after you’d just arrived from your latest roam, declaring: you need time, before we go back home. You don’t have the stomach to face things you left here undone, and now upon your return you expect a warm welcome, but Mom won’t understand the rules of engagement so I’ll end up watching you like a wounded non-combatant in a war, allegedly, without casualties, still it eats us alive like an incurable disease. But I don’t blame you. I don’t blame you at all. We’re still sitting in the bar you drink in front of me, I’m playing with toy spaceships that you bought so hastily. I have a hunch that your smile soon turns into a frown, so I pull on the spacesuit and wait for the countdown, cause “Nothing can be done” you say with some remorse, I put on the space helmet we’re now on collision course. But I don’t blame you. I don’t blame you at all.

One winter morning in the woodshed grandma lost it, no doubt she found mice trapped in an old bucket, they just couldn’t get out. She started to strangle them, one-by-one with her bare hands; why was she later so different? well, no one understands. The same week grandpa passed away and I heard at the funeral that he saw Jesus in a labor camp at the foot of the Urals still never was religious, grandma had to go to church without him to praise the name they would often besmirch. You might think that I went astray and I’m talking backwards. You might think that I went astray and I’m talking backwards. About these things Daddy put forward his own theory, ‘cause he was eager to decipher what others could not see he only failed to see the signs when he was to grasp them well, ever since he keeps trying to break the nameless spell. You might think that I went astray and I’m talking backwards. You might think that I went astray and I’m talking backwards. Wake up Daddy for your children’s sake and please try to stay awake Keep trying even if they say that your demons dragged you away Wake up Daddy.

Balaam 04:56
Sitting on the edge, the scouts behind my back, I find them too loud, but hopefully soon they’ll be gone so I’ll be completely alone. Maybe that old man was right in this respect: this place suits me fine. In the far distance the sea is just as alive as me. But then again it strikes my mind: there’s no way going back, just inside my head. I wonder why it took so long to find me here where I’ve been hiding from that angel with drawn sword whom I so often implored I’ve been told to forget all the past and redeem myself but the blessing came so hard ‘cause the curse stuck in my heart. And then again it strikes my mind: there’s no way going back, just inside my head. There, you now I reached the bottom of the things you’ve long forgotten when I faced the tempting depths There, you now I reached the bottom of the things I’ve long forgotten when I faced the fearsome depths There, you now I reached the bottom of the things we’ve long forgotten when I faced the dazzling depths There, you now I reached the bottom of the things you’ve long forgotten when I faced the loathsome depths.

As they say: “only the good die young” so what am I? Do you think I am that bad? The anger, like dust, it fills my lungs, my running thoughts cut deep wounds on my forehead Once I’m free I turn into a coward, when I may speak, I don’t have a single word, I pursue the pleasure of regret ‘cause it’s all I can get it’s all I can get. For so long I’ve been haunted by a fear: no traces, only void what I leave here I’m drawing scratches with unfolded wings, knocking on doors without the hope of getting in. Help me out, in the mirror I can’t see nowadays, that certain divine part of me, let me down, here I stand with bleeding nose, tired of my woes, tired of my woes.
