These days I wake up afraid -
I have a different name -
My face in the mirror is haunted and beautiful -
I know the terrible shape of the future -
Cars look for me in the streets -
They hunt me down in this ancient city -
Policemen draw up lists -
Courts pass sentence -
I hear footsteps on the stairs -
