Still Cannot Fix This Broken Machine


3: 00 a. m. 

The soft light of the lamp attacks me
I'm just leaving a precious dream 
The rays of light are so punishing 
I feel my heavy eyes like a fuzzy cloud 

I dreamed I was walking out from the sea 
The magic air of the beach crossed my lungs 
The mystic sand caressed my naked feet 

I was happy but now I'm pessimistic
Life seems to be a terrible dream 

Normally I am able to figure out why did I dream what I dreamed 
But I'm dizzy and numb and I had no idea 

She appeared out of nowhere
As I walked out from the sea 

She's someone I just met 4 or 5 months ago 
I swear I had never dreamed of her before
She's gorgeous and I like her 
But I never think of her 

Sunlight was so intense 
She said we will live in a forest

Suddenly, the beach turned into a big garden 
It was full of silly beautiful flowers and numb bees 
It turned into a vast empire of trees 

Her eyes were like an abyss 
And they were stacked inside my brain 
She said she liked to read and started to talk about English poets
None of them was familiar to me 

She said many names
They dropped like a cascade of words 
They were non sense names 

Cobaylan, Ginsburroughs, Rezapple, Morrijagger and so on  


It started to rain 
I was tired and I wanted to stop walking 
Raindrops hurt me and scared me 
I was afraid that she asked me for a name 
I did not want to screw it up 

She seemed so beautiful and able to please me 
She seemed too happy with me 

And then she lighted a cigarette 
I sensed we were in a battle field in Vietnam 
It was dark, humid and cold 

As she smoked, I could hear murmurs in mandarine 
I felt shaking chills 
Even when I was considering the possibility of dying 
I wasn't scared at all 

Her pupils were so dilated 
And she moved in a very strange way 
She kissed me 
Her lips felt like a burning touch 
And also like a freezing point dying on my skin  

I immediately thought of Ortsinn and Drucksinn 
I have read a lot of pages related to these topics in the last week 

As I was about to speak, she immediately kissed me again and again 

She stopped for a while and I found her eyes so violent and sweet 

I was petrified 

The dream finished abruptly 

Why?
