scheme of repetition

At last, I found my face 


It was found lying in the middle of a grand lake dubbed the Scheme of Repetition


On the edge of no man's land I realized that everything that happened already happened


And it would keep happening the same way


I screamed in joy

This absurd plot and its grandness


So I got in my seat and trailed the way back to the present that always was


on the edge of no man's land i at last looked up

Saw people, myself in their eyes


I tied my moccasins and leaped into you, 

Under my grimace i was humoured, crying in ecstasy, in awe of your story

The one you told me wordless


You opened up to me that effervescent repetition: 

Already happened, it all already happened,

The same way, it'd happening the same way


Looking within your faces I fell in love  

And i lost my self, my nose and my eyes 


And that's just how I found it 


My face, my face, my face!
