Trayectorias Imposibles

So...this is a bit of a different song. 

It's kind of an ode -- and answer -- to Mr. Philip Larkin's poem of the same name, which I am sure you will have come across:

Although I like Larkin -- and even this poem -- and I do agree that invariably your parents do "f*** you up", there has always been something about the poem that didn't sit well with me. And I think it's the lack of agency. It's like he's blaming the parents for everything in his life -- taking no responsibility himself.  So I am trying to address (read "redress?") that a bit in the song.

It's basically a (belated) love song to my late parents. I lost my Dad 12 years ago and my Mum last year. And although I did for long periods have a fractious and strained relationship with them both, I also loved them and am grateful to them for many reasons. I like to think that I communicated that to them both whilst they were still with us, but want to again do so here, in this song.

Γελούν τα κορίτσια 
στο Μαλιμπού

 Night the earth trembles
 Crying the girls in Khan Yunis
 Night and everything is blurry
 Crying the the boys in Deir al-Balah
 They shoot at night
 Crying the children in Beit Hanun
 Night a fire
 Crying the women in Beit Lahiya
 
 Dark well cracked
 Broken hand
 Two birds in each other's arms
 Lightning on the wires
 Lightning in the blood
 The kiss on the red violin 

 Night and another pogrom
 Crying the workers from Hebron
 Night with terirem
 Crying the mothers in Bethlehem
  
 Night with bamboo
 The girls laugh in Malibu
 Night in Malibu
 The bamboo girls laugh
