высоковольтные провода

high-voltage wires

---

suéltame

your voice echoes in the lazy, 
frayed, copper wires of my brain

and on command;
i short-circuit.

абрикосовое лето, где мы существовали
только в твоей мечте, and

your mouth, 

cherry-flavoured, 
cerises sur les lèvres,

me envolvió en
noche.

ugly, 
twisted cords, bite 
at my teeth,

your tongue tastes of static; and

i watch you leave, the room suddenly distilling 
into black. 

i still have the photo of the window
i took,

the day/
/my heart/
   broke.

запутанные воспоминания ; ты где-то там, 
а я здесь. 

высоковольтные провода; laced with
dreams
too far to reach us;

but in the silences between the static;

a veces, 

imagino tu sombra

a mi lado.

translated version:

(let go of me)

your voice echoes in the lazy, 
frayed, copper wires of my brain

and on command;
i short-circuit.

apricot-summer, where we existed only in your
dreams; and

your mouth, 

cherry-flavoured, 
(cherries against the lips)

enveloped me in night.

ugly, 
twisted cords, bite 
at my teeth,

your tongue tastes of static; and

i watch you leave, the room suddenly distilling 
into black. 

i still have the photo of the window
i took,

the day/
/my heart/
   broke.

confused/ tangled memories ; you somewhere there,
and me here.

high-voltage wires; laced with
dreams
too far to reach us;

but in the silences between the static;

sometimes,

i imagine your shadow,

beside me.
