Who do I remind you of?
Who do I make you forget?
What is my name tonight?
Whose presence are you assured of
when you take my hand in yours?
Whose silence of years becomes apparent
as we sing today?
Whose memory asphyxiates you tonight?
Cast a spell and turn me into a stone so I don't age
and my silence will haunt you
like a faceless mannequin
like an old poignant song
like a lonely maiden's curse
-the end of a festive season
Who do I remind you of?
Whose voice is my voice tonight?
Woven as strands of moments on the monologue of time,
whose silence becomes our silence tonight?
The wind whispers my predicament through your entangled hair:
What will you have become
when we meet the next time
-a saint devoid of all desires?
-a heart puckered and ugly?
-a lump of hardened wax?
Cast a spell and turn me into a songbird,
so when you return to your homeland
the trees shall sing my songs,
my muse will float over the rivers
Who will the melancholic music remind you of?
What will you have lost to time?
Of whose elaborate memory, whose plaintive absence
will I be a peripheral fragment?
The parting night sings a melody,
the moon and the stars cast a spell,
and I am lost in a vast desert,
I look for you,
What is your name tonight?
I scream, there is no voice
I cry, there are no tears
I close my eyes and see at a distance:
A beautiful but silent songbird
perched on a puckered cold stone- lined with wax
Who do you remind me of?
Who do you make me forget?
What is you name tonight?
Who do I make you forget?
What is my name tonight?
Whose presence are you assured of
when you take my hand in yours?
Whose silence of years becomes apparent
as we sing today?
Whose memory asphyxiates you tonight?
Cast a spell and turn me into a stone so I don't age
and my silence will haunt you
like a faceless mannequin
like an old poignant song
like a lonely maiden's curse
-the end of a festive season
Who do I remind you of?

Woven as strands of moments on the monologue of time,
