Chet Baker Is Finding His Way Towards Me


The night before taking to the woods

 

Through the stains on the window pane

you look at the fields of messily replanted cacti.

Your honesty is half madness

and time is a ritual for candles

causing the bones to become thankful again.

The distance is the only certainty –

it draws you near and hypnotizes you.

Each movement is like a dream

dissolving in caffeine.

You always clearly knew

that a woman with a gun is worth more

than ten men with rifles.
