With the tourniquet firmly in place, she will no longer crave
She falls asleep, on her own shoulder
Fallen angel, at the human addicted form,
Far from paradise without debt,
From pulpit to money, from money to pulpite
She injects herself with part of her pleasure to ruin
Until she forgets her wander roommates where where she could have propped herself up under this soiled bridge
This bridge which trembles at the thought of so much wasted life
They fall asleep in an imagined hue firmament as their night life disappears in an artificial orgasm
The tourniquet loosens
It’s noon but it's dark
How much did she hold on to life
Just tonight she returned to home washing station with immaculate parquet floors
She tought about a poem
« My heaven in hell , oh my fallen angel,
Alice in the land of soul sickness ,
I bleed my eyes, in a dramatic play
I'm lost in the middle of the maze, but I can't cry out for help,
The chime that calls the guardians, rings the demons
Without either , who is ally, who is enemy in the land of self betrayal
To the left, to the right , Right to left
My hell in heaven, my angel fall
My angel falls
A cold and a heat, in the distance
In an explosion of bright color, a flash
She is scared of going to hell,
How do you dare sweet heroin
Taking my soul,
She is scared of going to hell »
She puts on her long lace-up boots and her ripped tights
Her shadow is lighter than her under eyes, magnificently tired,
Insidious, persistent, her addiction leads her to wander
Her laced boots begin to have holes, like her soul
Maybe she's already dead, only by parts
« I would only save (kill) her »
The serial killer plays with the blade of his knife
Observing her from a dark corner on the other side of the street
A strong light emanating from the car wash reveals her figure vulgarly disguised
Disguised for man, for him, for death
If she recognize him, her serial killer fake love, maybe she could relive
The night has just fallen, he open the door
How could she imagine there is a killer in the laundry
She was already in hell, soon death
Under an incadescent light, an anorexie prostitute wash her clothes
A pledge of cleanliness
Nobodie’s watching
She better run ratter than thinking about poetry
Another kind of chore, she will soon have to take off her clothes
She approach the man with a fast gesture of hand, and her arm covered by slight marks
Her purse burst on the floor
The turniquet, a spoon…
Oh he took her hand than her arm
Is it too late now
He recognized the beggarly beauty of this insulting gesture
A man she should have recognized
He tought she loved her like she was craving her morning heroin
In all his silent rage he raised the knife and he pierced her
One step ahead of her with a blind eye, he had been watching her for a while
He was obsessed with her yellow sweater, a sun-colored sweater
Yellow like his kitchen
The kitchen of a murderer
A kitchen where knives cannot be washed
The blood burst on the floor
He clean the mess while whistling
Oh you young bee of dirty honey, how far you are from your hive made of cardboard
You, you who had known my kitchen, my living room, my bed
How do you not remember me
How do you not remember my name, he whisled
You who reached out to me like a stranger
Tell me if the floor will be clean enought for your now useless boots, and he whisled
He left a flower on the kitchen floor
All yellow, like her stupid short shirt
A few days after they see another vanishing poster, blowing in the wind
Who mourns the death of whores?
Another yellow flower soon
Under the stars of a sunny night, on the roof of a ransacked hotel, a gang of young drug addicts are at war with each other
They prick themselves with black diamonds under the shaky bridge of the city
They tease each other and wonder when the girl in yellow shirt will return
The disappearance sheet having appeared to them under a mild wind
They caught it believing in the poster of a concert poster they wouldn't have had the money for anyway
Its her, it is them
Who cares about the yellow shirt prostitute more than the desperate killer
She was like a puppets, the kind of human killer crave, like she craved her death in another form
The group of youth watched her for a while in the picture of the missing person she alf was
Is she now in heaven
Or in another kind of hell

Very powerful Valentina. This is a great line: 'Oh you young bee of dirty honey, how far you are from your hive made of cardboard' You weave a compelling blend of loss and control here!
That was deep and well written
Sad but mesmerizing. Nice job.
