My mind an open book
to those who want to read
It is closed to those
who giggle gleefully
who want the secret secret story
for their oh's and ah's
to those remains forever closed
my book
my mind
my heart

Djo

You changed to the pavement on the other side.
On a cold December night.
Fury drove me forward. And the wine.
You stayed behind.
I heard the late night tram run twice.

The door, the chair, the sewing machine, the bed.
Oh sweetness, sinking into the night together.

Djô

You're dancing on a volcano
of unfulfilled desire
balancing between
what cannot be

Heading straight for
mixed feelings concrete
head down, shoulders up
outer eyes blindfolded
inner eyes shut

Djô

Two swans gliding
Softly over the surface
Of a moonlit lake

Djô

The other end of night

When you see me in your night
don’t ask for help
just watch me pass
and let the shadow of my passing
relieve a fraction of your sorrow.
I cannot help
so I won’t even try
You have to walk your night alone
I’ll meet you at the other end
we’ll show each other our scars
and reminisce.

Djô

la brume matinale recède chaque jour un peu plus
les vagues de chaleur ne se lassent pas de monter
le champs de vision s'élargit de genoux d'où s'éloignent les jupes
le bouc, l'ensuqué, l'hibernant se réveille à grands coups d'hormones

Djô

Sadness, respectable madness, green hills roll up in their shame
Incurable sadness, when faced with the madness
Nature folds onto herself

Respecting the madness, denying Ol' Miss Ness
Her right to swim where she wants
Osmographs, encophalls, fancigraphs, no other evidence counts.

And I watch the moon, I talk to the mole,
And I wonder who really is listening down there in the hole.

Djô

Djô

Tie the strings around my heart
Pull them tight.
I promise not to fight
I will just disappear.
Will you have gained, will I have lost?
Will we sit down to count the cost, again?

Djô

The hole in the wall
To look back at yourself
From the outside


Djô

The moon is in the sky.
Overhearing distant words.
Something's stirring in my sleep.

Djô

It’s time for you
to take your time
or time will take you
well before your time

Djô

No time to lose said the winner.
Give me your soul.
We will play hide&seek with fortune&fate.
Devils stand at the door,
Wave with wide woven gestures.

Djô
