about you
‘I didn't expect to see you suddenly,
I guess.
For a moment
I thought I was dreaming of you.
Like I did all these past years.
Do you remember the railway station?
You were shivering in the rain,
Like now.
The wind was blowing hard.
I was going away,
But I meant to come back soon.
And then I got lost,
Wandering along strange routes.
If I should but stretch out my hand
I will touch you.
And time will behold again.
But something is holding me back.
I wish I could tell you
I returned.
But something is holding me back.
The journey isn't over,
Not yet.’
—from the film Ulysses' Gaze (1995, the scene of the umbrellas), directed by Theodoros Angelopoulos.

My Bed is Covered Yellow—by Peter Orlovsky
‘My bed is covered yellow—
Oh Sun, I sit on you
Oh golden field I lay on you
Oh money I dream of you
More, More, cried the bed—talk to me more—
Oh bed that taked the weight of the world—
All the lost dreams laid on you...’
—1957, Paris (excerpt).
—American poet and actor Peter Anton Orlovsky (July 8, 1933 - May 30, 2010) was Allen Ginsberg's longtime partner.
