1
Lust is a mad adventure –
a struggle in the streets
2
Escape is a waltz with the clouds,
steps that vanish on the feathers of a dove
3
The sound of the sea: an accursed city
And the moon laughs mockingly
Water alone knows the secret of drowning
and the wave is master of improvisation
4
The streets are barefoot
Rain turns wild
5
Gossip all the time
unless we drain it
from our blood
6
Adrenaline overwhelms us
when we’re impaled by desire
7
Can you unveil my palm
without a kiss
or a bomb?
8
Tap… tap… tap…
From now on, no gates
to this city
