Leonard Cohen & Philip Glass - The Book of Longing - Roshi's very tired

Come se avessi dita spezzate, occhi stanchi, orecchie che cercano di strofinarsi morbidamente sul cuscino, emorragie di pensieri che macchiano tutto senza lasciare frasi stabili sulla carta e sullo schermo...

Per concludere un provante ciclo circadiano, ascolto una canzone di Leonard Cohen, con un testo che sembra parlare e scrivere di me e per me, a buon ragione, vista la mia "lunga pausa".

La musica è di Philip Glass.

Roshi at 89

Roshi's very tired

he's lying on his bed

He's been living with the living

and dying with the dead

But now he wants another drink

(will wonders never cease?)

He's making war on war 

and he's making war on peace

He's sitting in the throne-room

on his great Original Face

and he's making war on Nothing

that has something in its place

His stomach's very happy

the prunes are working well

There's no one going to Heaven

and there's no one left in Hell
