What are the ghosts You're staring out the dirty window Where our train is going by now the sky is blue, the sun is shining trees whizz by but you are not blinking What are the ghosts that hunt you down What are the ghosts that I should dodge Tell me what goes on in your head are you haunted by the living or the dead You're sitting there too stiff for your age while there is a war inside you raging Your face remains unfazed by it By all the deep depressing shit If there were ever invisible tears we all would drown right here finally you let your eyelids down with the nonchalant version of a Garbo frown You play with your smart phone quick So desperate it makes me sick you touch the touch screen like a doctor soft the cheek of a baby he just lost Now you're sitting here looking at me like my future looking back at me and I decide to do it differently although I don't know from what

Angel Hair Pasta in Hell A 1-eyed banker Promises me fortune Cookies paved my way Out of line you said Clowns are following me (me)ow makes the cat Fishing in late May I'm ringing the bell And order my plate Of Angel Hair Pasta in Hell A wild albino bore Dances on the table Manners matter still Lifes linger on the wall Paper cuts are deep Thoughts are dearly missed Opportunities to me I'm ringing the bell And order my plate Of Angel Hair Pasta in Hell Sisyphus with little hope Rolls the rock uphill Side standing tiny men- splaining what they see Of fire seering hot Flashes flooding my body Parts I feel them not I'm ringing the bell And order my plate Of Angel Hair Pasta in Hell

Daydreaming by night a full moon and Mars above us all the stars of a unique nite after the party had died daydreaming by nite seems so perfect and the right thing to do - out of sight daydreaming by nite your wet hair slick back we‘re going as far we can get sharing a perfect time together sitting beside each other your face reflected in the water a sirene far away and mosquitos in the air thankful to the moon for sharing the light with me and you that he lends his light your sparkling eyes

That spark in your eyes At the end of the day We drank the work away Laughing about our colleagues and bosses Above us the stars and the sky And a tiny candle light Flickering in the rhythm of the wind PC All what we needed - Was all what we had Right there and then - And that was when R I could make you laugh I could make you smile And you could light the night sky With that spark in your eyes When we saved some money We hit the road Travelled at home and abroad Sitting on a lake Swimming in the ocean Lying naked in the shade and in the sun We shared the olives We shared the wine Between us there was no me or mine Everything was our's Our love and our life Just our future didn't turn out fine We had xmas with our families And New Year's with our friends

about

The cover photo is from my countless street photography trips. I know I shot this from the car while driving, on purpose with a slow shutter, what produces the blur.
