Where's heaven?

She's sitting on the sidewalk and looking to the sky.
The hot summer wind hits her face and leaves an angry texture.
Where's heaven? She was supposed to be talking to angels.
Where's heaven? All she's looking for is happiness.
Where's heaven? She feels like in a prision.
What's the meaning of life?
Who's the guider? What's the map?
They'd told me if I wished it with my heart, I'd get it...
I did...
Wasn't love supposed to win?
Christmas will be season with salty tears.

MYTH

Somewhere - an old, yellowish, sacred book
T'was stated we'd once see
Some things in you were like everything in me
How many pieces of my split soul
Had I left behind? I'll never know...
You blew your voice, I picked the melody
It's like we're in and out each other's mind
You're my myth, my missing half
A logic Einstein would never sustain,
That gods would consider profane
I'll break gravity laws to go and touch you
I'll make a bridge, I'll fly away...

In the wind blow
While clouds move
And sun shines
I'll sing a song for you.

So far away, but so in me.

SQUARES

I walk around the world paying attention
To colors I don’t know the name
Almodóvar colors, Frida Kalo colors, colors
I toddle in the dark, I pay close attention
To what my brother listens to
And like a second skin, a callus, a protective capsule

I want to arrive earlier
To signal the being of each thing, filter its degrees
I walk around the world amusing people, crying on the telephone
And seeing hunger hurt in hungry boys and girls
  
Through the bedroom window, throught the car window
Through the screen, through the window
 
Who’s she, whos’s she?
I see everything framed
Remote control 
 
I walk around the world
And what are cars in a rush for?
Where are kids in a rush to?
I transit between two sides of one side
I like the opposites
I expose my mode, I show myself
Who do I sing for?
 
I walk around the world
And my friends, where are they?
My joy, my fag...
And my Love, where are you?
I woke up
There’s no one by my side. 

(Translation from Adriana Calcanhoto's song)
