Foreigner

 

A foreigner roams

around my internal town

with feet as cold as dead seas

crossing my lungs.

 

Tell me, what I must do

if this reality is not mine,

if I am in pain

if I am

like the one who loses sleep,

the one who is searching in his dreams.

 

So what am I to do then,

if a foreigner roams

around my internal town

if I take refuge among stones

in the presence of you and everyone else.

 

I am not to blame for everything,

if everything is to blame.

What gives me away

is the way you behold me.
