In Paradise Everybody Got Excited and the Stars


Remember how in paradise you told me
You were made for my eyes?

In paradise the taste of sparkling Shiraz
Went best with the flesh of your voice

You would translate wind
Into the monotonous days of paradise

There were plenty of fronds
And no cemeteries in paradise

It’s official!
Paradise was boring

When will we discover what
We didn’t know in paradise?

O in the interminable days of paradise
We made authentic gestures to the perfect sky!

Our bodies ached from lying
Every night on the cold stone of paradise

When were we in paradise?

When we were in paradise
The sun distilled its blonde honey in your hair

Heh heh heh
Paradise made even the crow chuckle

What
By the way
Is there to complain about paradise?

Without words the route to paradise
Abandoned us

We no longer knew
Where to knock on the door of paradise

We said may the thief’s hand never steal
The horseshoe from the threshold of paradise!

We lost our place as if the book of our life
Belonged really to paradise

When did we make our history into hats
We should have worn in paradise?

One day suddenly before our brows
Was a memory of paradise

Bursting from the oak’s dream of paradise
A lovely sudden leaf
Assaulted our lonely sodden life
