Not at home. Not there,

nor here. At night I shout it --


over the rooftops.
Song "મારી પ્રિયતમા ક્યાં છે" ("Mari priyatama kyan chhe", "Where is my beloved?"), sung by Alibabaei Behrang in the Meervaart Theatre in Amsterdam on November 25th, 2023, accompanied by Orchestre Partout and the Cello Octet - composition by Oene van Geel

Still after all the years
the mystery
that I love most, you

and your image of me
that you mirror to me
the image to my thoughts

and my promise
to you, my more and less
beautiful for you

in your eyes
that desire me
and call me

An attentive kiss

makes you feel all energy --


deep within yourself.

The party goes on

above me, I'm having fun --


with Nino, the cat.

Scents, traces: the ant

has mapped the big white bathtub --


its infinity.

The cypresses stand tall
against the pale evening blue
far from here, heat is pressing
on the city where you live

thinking of all kind of things
maybe thinking of me
maybe of yourself
being reflected by me
      
Just because, precisely because
you don't know, you can't
know, I know
that you know, that
I see and know
      
who you are, shining
what I don't tell anyone
what I feel
and cry out in myself
You are, you shine, you!

Who knows where you are,

I do not need to know, I --


love you anyway.
