“I wrote Da im Kafenion on a good Saturday, it was the 26th of September 87. After three weeks of separation I was waiting for Susn with new-found joy. She had cheated on me and I knew, as always, that I would be humiliated and leave, getting aggressive. I want to apologise to the truly beautiful light of the landscape, because I didn’t notice it anymore and even cursed it. Now, after eight years have passed, I approach it from the bygone future-loop or the future bygone-loop and enjoy them again and want to accept the peace that they offered me.”
