Antonio Gamoneda

BLUE oil on your tongue

BLUE oil on your tongue, black seeds in your veins. In the last symbols, you see purity without meaning.

It is the intoxication of old age: light in the light. Alcohol

without hope.

BLAUWE olie op je tong

BLAUWE olie op je tong, zwarte zaden in je aders. In de laatste symbolen zie je de zuiverheid zonder betekenis.
 
Het is de roes van de ouderdom: licht in licht. Alcohol
 
zonder hoop.

ACEITE azul sobre tu lengua, semillas negras en tus venas. En los últimos símbolos, ves la pureza sin significado.

Es la ebriedad de la vejez: luz en la luz. Alcohol

sin esperanza.
