(Swans - September 21, 2009)  

La grande règle
Ce qui est digne d'etre aimé
con in bocca il sapore dell'odio
but in your mouth taste of hate
caused by unavoidable solitude
per la facilità alla solitudine

where all life dies, death lives

mais je n'espère pas
io non mori', e non rimasi vivo
not died yet, but I don't live
thinking of thousands
of unknown African immigrants
                                                died in the Sicilian Channel —

everything tastes like tears

unknown
