P01 The Man in the cold

I saw him in the morning

a cold morning of winter

In Paris, I was quietly driving

looking at the Eiffel tower.

I just passed under a bridge

looking at runners and walkers.

Outside, it was a fridge

not a morning for dreamers.

He was sitting on the side,

Just a blanket on the shoulders,

his look lost into the void.

Just a shadow to go deeper.

Deeper in a lost story,

the story of loneliness.

No companion under the tree.

Nobody to tell kindness.

I even couldn't stop the car,

taken in a death spiral

that made me go too far,

to visit an unknown goal.

Next day, next week,

he won't be there in the light,

like a really bad trick,

in my own damned fight.
