I'm a-sailing away

I'm leavin' my fam'ly
and leavin' my friends
my body's at home
but my heart's in the wind
where the clouds are like headlines
on a new front page sky
my tears are salt water
and the moon's full and high
And i know martin eden's
gonna be proud of me
and many before me
who've been called by the sea
to be up in the crow's nest
and singin' my say
shiver me timbers
'cause i'm a-sailin' away
The fog's liftin'
and the sand's shiftin'
and i'm driftin' on out
and ol' captain ahab
he ain't got nothin' on me.
so come on and swallow me, don't follow me
i'm trav'lin' alone
blue water's my daughter
'n i'm gonna skip like a stone
So please call my missus
tell her not to cry
'cause my goodbye is written
by the moon in the sky
and nobody knows me
i can't fathom my stayin'
shiver me timbers
i'm a-sailin' away
And the fog's liftin'
and the sand's shiftin'
i'm driftin' on out
ol' captain ahab
he ain't got nothin' on me
so come on and swallow me, don't follow me
i'm trav'lin' alone
blue water's my daughter'n
i'm gonna skip like a stone
And i'm leavin' my family
leavin' my friends
my body's at home
but my heart's in the wind
where the clouds are like headlines
on a new front page sky
and shiver me timbers
i'm a-sailin' away

Tom Waits, "Shiver me timbers"

Alptraum

Wie könnte ein Abenteuer ein Alptraum werden...
Wie könnte "zu Hause"
die Hölle bedeuten
Nur die Streitlust, das Alleinsein, das Heimweh
können alles erklären
nur das Meer, der Wind, die Bekanntschaft
können alles auslösen.

See the animal in his cage that you built
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?
See the safety of the life you have built
Everything where it belongs
Feel the hollowness inside of your heart
And it's all
Right where it belongs

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you think you know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks?
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

What if all the world's inside of your head
Just creations of your own?
Your devils and your gods
All the living and the dead
And you're really all alone?
You can live in this illusion
You can choose to believe
You keep looking but you can't find the woods
While you're hiding in the trees

[Chorus:]
What if everything around you
Isn't quite as it seems?
What if all the world you used to know
Is an elaborate dream?
And if you look at your reflection
Is it all you want it to be?
What if you could look right through the cracks
Would you find yourself
Find yourself afraid to see?

NIN, Right where it belongs, With teeth

Sechsundzwanzig

De nuevo recordar
que en una semana como esta
algo mas calurosa seguro
una nueva vida se abrio paso
y continua haciendolo
ahora rodeada de bosques
de nuevas y buenas personas
de nuevos y dificiles codigos comunicativos
que no impiden que fluyan palabras
y pensamientos.
Balance como cada año
otra nueva primavera
el verano no llega nunca al otro lado de los Alpes
y cuando llegue
su brevedad pasara apenas rozando el sol las pieles blancas
mientras relatos familiares
de calores
de playas marmenorenses
de levantes en LA (oh cuzino atravesado por la pasion del volcan)
solo deseo un regalo
y Morfeo me lo hace todas las noches:
planeos que aun soy incapaz de realizar en mi vida
consciente
maniobras que solo en tierra llegan a buen puerto.
En solo mes y medio
el regalo sera carne
carne de fibra de vidrio,
monofilm (adecuadamente reforzado)
y carbono.
Como el espiritu santo (gaviota y no paloma, la Biblia se equivocaba)
como en las leyendas de los antiguos griegos
de la espuma y las aguas saladas
surgiran dioses miticos
que vuelan con el viento.
