Łódź, 1984

[I dreamt we met on a gigantic ship on a dark night in Łódź −that was not Łódź...]

it was like in 1984
we barely recognized each other
your hair had turned blonde
have we ever felt so full of shame?

You had to escape from the ship that was heading to the
to the center of
center of the city
and the police was spying on us

so we parted
yes, we parted

my mother reading magazines
had a plain look at me
I was terrified
cause I knew the police
will chase you soon
and there was nothing
I could do

we barely recognized each other
your hair had turned blonde
and we felt full of shame
like in 1984

so we parted
yes, we parted

true love has died before we were born
with the fall of the Berlin wall

his hugs so kind in times of hard cement
his hugs so kind in times of hard cement and hard cemented noise
his hugs so kind
his hugs so kind in times of hard cement

His colorless droopy lids the color of virginity

our dreams deceased before we were born
with the end of the Pacific War

his hugs so kind in times of hard cement

You spelled out the writings flying over the sky:
evangelical messages of the New Testament

his hugs so kind in times of hard cement
