Description I knew it from the start
I felt it in my dreams
That bad omen in my window
Watching me when I woke up

It was harder getting out of bed
Still, I threw an old shirt on my back
The morning air was freezing my thoughts
I had that bad feeling once again

The coffee tastes horrible
Too sweet
I can't break free from this
I'm just in too deep.

The paper tells nothing but pain
All that comes to my mind is your name
It's going to be one of these days
I had that bad feeling once again

The cigarette slowly chokes me
To death
I can't break free from this
I'm just killing myself

The phone rings like a fire alarm
I answer it with a sore throat
Your voice still sounds the same
I had that bad feeling once again

The words cut me like a knife
You lie
I can't break free from this
I'll just have to try

I knew it from the start
Like ants crawling down my thoughts
Like the empty closet when you had to go
Like the bad omen watching my window



****

Early morning, with the sun rising over Jaffa, Israel.
It felt like bad things are going to happen.
Still, it was a pretty good day

No manipulation. Just added contrast.
Sigma 70-200 F2.8 lens.

I have to say I tend to see it also as one of my best.
Such a powerful feeling in such a minimal frame...
This looks so strong on hard copy
