The sixth hour
The road
I walk
Solitude
The Old Beast shakes its head swearing
The Villains of Space couldn’t care less about me
with their oldbroken down old rats
It’s hell
The sixth hour by the clock
A door opens suddenly
Every eye looks up
I’m soaked
The Blue Kid bites his lips
Baron Saturday is unable to stand up
Terror-stricken
His heart leaps in his chest
He cries out frightened
Can we really dream on this planet?
The pack of dogs is off again
Bird-men are still a little ahead
The Calypso Nymph utters no sound
The day is over
I buried my shoes
I’m sitting in a corner
I’m small and insignificant
I’m cold
Claude Pélieu has just passed away
The Blue Kid starts to bang on walls sobbing
Me, I would like to sleep but I can’t
I look at the sea
I look at the sky
The wind has stopped
Nothing more
The night crow flies above me
Nowhere to land
Help me old brother of the night
We’re merely stardust
Stars are not eternal
And we all die
Alone
Without a sound
Watching the snow fall on the terminal screen
When the wind will have nothing more to murmur
