I'll leave the bed as she left it
Undone and broken, sheets tangled
So that the imprint of his body
Remains engraved in the décor
I'll stay there motionless
Arms folded, almost quiet
I will leave the room as she left it
The smell of Camels, Gauloises mixed
So that the light holds back
His bare shadow in the shutters
At the end of the dock falls during the day
I stay there feeling love
In this port of cracked people just upside down from the world
Where huge suns reflected my waves back to me
Where norms tip to the bottom of deaf volcanoes
Where I dragged my boots wasting your love
I will leave my skin as it left it
Sweat and cinnamon, peppery orange
So that my memory may come back
Drawing me this Eurasian
When I stagger at dawn
I will take my life as she left it
With a smile in the corner, a secret
In order to accept tenderness
That I had refused again and again
With the impression of being strong
Sleep is almost death
In this port of cracked people just upside down from the world
Where huge suns reflected my waves back to me
Where norms tip to the bottom of deaf volcanoes
Where I dragged my boots wasting your love
