Changed Me Forever
Changed Me Forever 2019 and old jp A strange place, Imishli. An abandoned world. Where humanity maintains a lurking presence, Eking existence out from a wholly overwhelming uselessness, Fall of the Soviet empire, Complete abandonment of the sea bed experiment, Imishli evaporates in the heat An emptiness of strangely being no place. A strange place, Imishli. Human spirit, behind these walls. I find fresh yoghurt and grapes, Fruit trees and ovens baking fresh bread, Children laughing through their remarkably rotten teeth, Behind the walls where the women unveil and whose voices animate the air, And old men smoking cigarettes bent over backgammon boards Always a glass of tea… A strange place that has become me. Somewhere in my memories genes. Changed me forever.
