You were there

When Eve bit the apple

and the sweet apple juice trickled

down her neck

like a melted necklace,

you were there.

When the Tower of Babel

was risen,

there was no tower at all that rose

towards the sky

but our insincere words

and you know that

because you were there.

When Jon Snow

was stabbed to death

by the watchmen

you knew that he was not

really dead

because you have Targaryen blood

and fire

runs through your veins.

When Christopher Columbus

discovered the New World

and stepped with his right foot

on virgin territory

he wore one of your sandals

because you were there.

When I was born

and after a while eventually died

all this time

you were there

like a sunny piano under my skin

playing your favourite tune.
