Das zweite, längere Stück vom aktuellen Mycale-Album basiert auf einem Poem von Jorge Luis Borge. Die englische Übersetzung des vertonten Textauszuges:
What can I keep you with?
I offer you lean streets, desperate sunsets.
I offer you the moon of ragged suburbs.
I offer you the bitterness of a man who has looked at length at the lonely moon.
I offer you the loyalty of a man who has never been loyal.
I can give you my loneliness, my darkness, the hunger of my heart.
