ILLICIT LOVEcome through my other door you cannot open this come with your former eyes come at the time to kill and be vigilant lest someone should follow you I have been hiding in this house for a long time I have changed my name they call me something else day and night I wear sunglasses come through my other door you cannot open this come toward daybreak come with all your eyes
I am getting darker and darker behind the shutters troubles engulf me and so does the Fall I am unable to recognize your voice on the phone your face flows and vanishes away through my fingers something neeting something broken forever come toward daybreak come with your former eyes come through my other door you cannot open this and be vigilant lest someone should follow you
I no longer exist for anyone they conjured my loves with enormous violins my fears have been lonesome for eternity I am a lonely verse is that why I am getting wet a revolver completes my novel the play is over they tumed off the lights come as if you do not exist come at the time to kill come through my other door you cannot open this they locked and sealed it from the outside and be vigilant lest someone should follow you
FLOWER OF MISERY
exhausted they were at the alsancak train station flower of misery in the night was the clock at the station nothing existed but themselves a treacherous trembling seized the man his hands were tom they were handcuffed the wife was canying his bag
nobody knew who they were flower of misery in the night was the clock at the station they got on a third-class car it became clear the man would go they seemed to have given up something try what he may he couldn't look at his wife
standing they smoked cheap cigarettes flower of misery in the ni~ht was the clock at the station they had already fallen in solitude past and future in darkness suddenly they turned pale quietly the cars began moving
