Chet Baker Is Finding His Way Towards Me


Chet Baker Is Finding His Way Towards Me

  

Chet Baker is finding his way towards me

 

though I have hid myself behind the heat

and hands are caressing me

in a room where

curtains stand guard

 

still

Chet Baker is easily finding his way towards me

his trumpet celebrates sleepful nights

the walks along the wide avenues

the little hotels

and their balconies

 

he tells me to remember

all that is happening tonight

 

to remember

the palms the sea her fragrances

 

everytime

when I think the retreat has been ordered
