Summer 2004

Philippe Soupault tr. Julia Murkin GEORGIA I'm not sleeping Georgia I shoot arrows into the darkness Georgia I'm waiting Georgia The fire is like snow Georgia The night is my neighbor Georgia I hear every single noise Georgia I see the smoke climbing and escaping Georgia I walk stealthily along in the shadows Georgia I run - here is the street to the suburbs Georgia Here is a town which is the same And which I don't recognize Georgia I hurry - here is the wind Georgia And the cold and silence and fear Georgia I run away Georgia I run Georgia The clouds are low and they're going to fall Georgia I have to be in your arms Georgia I'm not closing my eyes Georgia I call 'Georgia' I call you Georgia Will you come Georgia soon Georgia Georgia Georgia Georgia Georgia I'm not sleeping Georgia I'm waiting for you Georgia
