When I light the lamp, I suddenly
see my own enormous shadow

:01:06
over the entire wall,
:01:09
In the great mirror above the fireplace
I see myself, the face of my own ghost,

:01:17
and I live with the dead.
:01:29
All it said was, "Dearest,
come at eight o'clock tomorrow."

:01:33
I stared at each letter, each stain,
for the marks of her fingers.

:01:41
Did she love me
or was she pretending?

:01:44
Did she love me or the other
or both at the same time?

:01:56
"You are the vampire
:01:57
"which sucks my sparkling blood
:02:00
"From the channels of my heart
:02:03
"with icy draining looks
:02:07
"My body glows like desert sand
burned and charred

:02:11
"And the dry Sirocco of madness
:02:14
"rages and my blood flows"
:02:30
We didn't even know each other
and yet was it because

:02:36
she took my first kiss that she took
the fragrance of life from me?

:02:42
Was it because she lied, deceived
:02:46
that she suddenly took
:02:48
the scales from my eyes one day?
