Emilíana Torrini
Telexes (From ’The Extraordinary Miss Flower’)
It's
A long
Lonely
Land
Without
Your hand
Or
Your hair
And
The silence
Over there
Stop
Phone call
Was beautiful
Stop
End of
Second
Month
When you
Perceive this
Stop
A three
Word
Letter
Would be
A poem
Stop
Flower
Am
Sure
Of
Your
Love
And absolutely
Faithful
Stop
This
Is not
Propaganda
Stop
I am not
Drinking you
Out of
My mind
Stop
Have
Come
To terms
With
My real
Self
Stop
Don't
Bite
Your
Nails
Stop
I have been
In a fight
Stop
It knocked
Out
The sadness
Stop
No obligation
Stop
No duty
To respond
Stop
But a
Three
Word
Letter
Would be
A poem
Stop
It's a
Long
Lonely
Land
Without
Your hand
Or
Your hair
And
The silence
Over there
Stop
