Two and a Half: PHOENIX

It may not always be so;
and I say
that if your lips,
which I have loved,
should touch
another’s,
and your dear strong fingers clutch
her heart,
as mine in time not far away;
if on another’s face your sweet hair lay
in such a silence as I know,
or such
great writhing words as,
uttering overmuch,
stand helplessly before the spirit at bay;

if this should be,
I say if this should be
you of my heart,
send me a little word;
that I may go unto her,
and take her hands,
saying,
Accept all happiness from me.
Then shall I turn my face,
and hear one bird
sing terribly afar in the lost lands. - Sonnets/Unrealities IX, by Björk

Taking Two: UNIFICATIONS II

Sehnsucht versteckt
Sich wie ein Insekt
Im Schlafe merkst du nicht
Dass es dich sticht
Glücklich werd ich nirgendwo
Der Finger rutscht nach Mexiko
Doch er versinkt im Ozean
Sehnsucht ist so grausam

Longing hides
like an insect
while asleep you don’t notice
that it stings you
I’ll never be happy anywhere
the finger slips to Mexico
but it sinks in the ocean
longing is so cruel - Sehnsucht, by Rammstein

The Gathering of Ages: THE EYE

Well, it’s been a while since I heard from Matt’s brother, Mike since he moved from W.A to the Eastern States (which to my mistake wasn’t Sydney, but Brisbane) during Easter last year, leaving the three of us (of the original school posse) angry and stunned, his folks included.
