(I almost forgot it: a piano echoed in here too
playing softly the Romance du Mal’Aime)
I, too, lived in this room
for many years, poorly as always
and here I passionately got busy
with painting and poetry
sculpture
but philosophy too and Eros
I remained sitting for hours
smoking
by that window
looking
sometimes in the sky
and other times on the road
and now I must, alas, leave too
perhaps better things are meant for me
they are renting the room again
