The wound that‘s bleeding

the head I came out of

I’ve split myself in many pieces

forgot the name of each one.

Who is the girl in yellow?

Who is the girl in blue?

Where can I find the one in red?

My feet have taken me everywhere, 

as I have never left this place.

My lips have spoken out everything, 

though I’ve moved them just once.

I saw the stars falling

and that was the end of night.
