In 2006 Katie Melua released her album, “Piece by Piece”.
IN 2007 I left Europe for America and I wrote this:
Piece by Piece
I’m selling my past
on ebay
for a bunch of cheapy Euro tears….
Box by Box
I’m shipping my past
on a boat
sacred secrets of my Euro years…
Trash or art?
Like murky Van Gogh
and snazzy Matisse
in one frame agony and bliss
painted by moments
selected by
the only witness
of my sin-nocent story
my memory…
There will be new cars in the life to start
There will not be Me-at-42 Louizastraat
