the north sea
is never as black as you want it to be
particle by particle
wish the wind would whisper a little more
than stories of endless nights & useless talks
but now the river speaks
of arrogance & career opportunities
the building blocks of life surround me
centrepiece of every ‘good morning’
the palm tree stands alone
with dying leaves on a wet floor
sirens roar
day & night
wish I was a part of it
a little more
smoke and steam show the way towards the green
cold & dark
as I look out the window
for a daily look of density & color schemes
the riverbed has not been well to me
you can’t smile your way out of loneliness
I’ve been here for 10+ years
and I’ve always had the feeling that everyone stares
but I met my lover here
through notable failures of a lesser man trying to cope
in winter I can hide a little better and I lived in fear with cigarettes & beer
but I, I know, you can’t smile your way out alone
standing in the corner of the living room
thinking nothing
for the first time
