Goodbye and Hello

  

"The antique people are fading out slowly

Like newspapers flaming in mind suicide

Godless and sexless directionless loons

Their sham sandcastles dissolve in the tide

They put on their deathmasks and compromise daily

The new children will live for the elders have died

And I wave goodbye to America

And smile hello to the world"

[Goodbye and Hello, Tim Buckley]

Sadly

"She said, father, mother, sister, brother

Uncle, aunt and nephew, niece

Soldier, sailor, physician, laborer

Actor, scientist, mechanic, priest

Earth and moon and sun and stars

And planets and comets with tails blazin'

All are there forever fallin'

Fallin' lovely and amazin'"

[As I sat sadly by her side, Nick Cave]

On top of an old world

                                                                   ...and by the time we were leaving

                                                a bit away from the touristic fever of summer...

                                                                   ...it was getting mysteriously dark.

Roof Garden

 

                                                                              ...she tasted every flower

                                                                              and then just flew away...

Those last days of summer...

                                                                             το παραθύρι κλείστο

                                                                          με φυλλωσιές ονείρου

                                                                           μ' όνειρα φυλλωσιάς."
