On sleepless nights

I stroll the left bankin sequined heels

eyelids heavy with smoky glitter

Among the art I find you

Your essence pierces my veins settles in the pool of my heart

ambient lights flicker their last warning in the cafe where we

sway like willows to long forgotten love songs

Then you are gonenever hearing Je t’aime

the only French I know.

“Je t’aime, Je t’aime “

“I love you

Like a fool like a soldier

Like a movie star

I love you I love you

Like a wolf like a king

Like a man that I am not

I love you like that”

*Serge Gainesbourg

“Je t’aime, Je t’aime“
