A few words about my return — or not — to that universe that belongs to us. The universe where owls never sleep.

Young Lady by Édouard Manet (1866)

I forgot the papers
The fire in the hearth was extinguished
The blood in my veins was clotted
And I didn’t think anymore

The fly sat on my food
The wind knocked over my ceramic vase
The clothes were messy
The door was always closed

I can’t tell you
If I wanna come back
But that is my attempt
We are the change that returns to the past
But this is our bleed
