Gummiband [English translation]

If she closes her mouth

you forget that she said something

you forget that she had a mouth

And she closes her mouth

to protect all the words

she hides them in the tongue for a moment

She will travel somewhere

via Heathrow, London

where your fingers never reach

She has something in her hand

It looks vaguely like a rubber band

that she stretches

exactly however hard

exactly however hard

The day's light is pink in your eyes

in the rift over the pavement

early morning, five o'clock

everything around changes place

and blurs far away

you see someone you recognise

She will travel somewhere

with three cases in the taxi

you cannot force your legs to start walking

She has something in her hand

It looks vaguely like a rubber band

that she stretches

exactly however hard

She will travel somewhere

via Heathrow, London

where your fingers never reach

She has something in her hand

It looks vaguely like a rubber band

that she stretches

exactly however hard
