Skylab Love Scene

Once when I had everything
Nothing seemed alive as me
But now my collections have stunted limbs
And the universe is shrinking…
I missed the signpost, you took my hand
And declared resistance is futile
Immersed ourselves in gas station landscapes
Power lines and pitted streets
We waited months for the leaves on the trees
We never sparkled, the dust untouched
And you said, «You think you’re so much better than me
But I know how you got that scar
I know how you got that scar.»
We kept the fire night and day
Until you had to go away
Quite a surprise, when through it all
We always pretended that it was
Under control
Some time, when you have the time
I hope you call just to say hello
