I come from

I come from some shipwreck

from some remote village I come from.

Maybe I am a sleeping rock

perhaps I am awakened grass.


I come from some sparkle

from some watchful cactus I come.

Maybe I am a nameless river

perhaps I am a flaming drop.


I come from some star

from some lost arrow I come from.

Maybe I am a broken tooth

perhaps I am a walking foot.


I come from some mirage

from some beating heart I come.

Maybe I am distant blood

perhaps I am a beating dagger.


I come from some gaze

from some hidden silence I come.

Maybe I am a path by night

perhaps I am thirsty song.


I come from some eternal furrow

I come from some deserted place.

Maybe I am longing bliss

perhaps I am anchored anguish.


I come from some firmament

from some distant star I come from.

Maybe I'm everyone's dream

perhaps it's just that I love you.
