lyrics

DRAMATIC EVENING, 2008, oil on canvas

So late now in the evening
So late that I must go
The guests were all fantastic
The dancing on the floor.

Discussions on a sofa
In sixty-seven style
The freedom of the wording
The poet for a while.

Some Reclam based opinions
Some standing just beside
She’s tired from defending
Her innocence and pride.

I know, you must be weary
I know, you must be sad
No answer and no theory
why can’t you stay instead?

I thought, I heard my spirit
I thought, I heard him cry
The unrewarding minute
The truth and all the lies.

The sons and hopeful lovers
The sailors in the rain
The tightness of confessions
The questions will remain.

Some pure absurd reactions
Some false and faithless risk
A callboy was invited
The stranger and the kiss.

You came with all your memories
You did not have a plan
The sinning and the conscience
The girls and all their men.

So late now in the evening
So late that I must go
The guests were all fantastic
The dancing on the floor.
