"By day and night, fancy electronic dishes
are trained on the heavens.
They are listening for smudged echoes
of the moment of creation.
They are listening for the ghost of a chance.
They may help us make sense of who we are
and where we came from;
and, as a compassionate side effect,
teach us that nothing is ever lost.
So... I rake the sky.
I listen hard.
I trawl the megahertz.
But the net isn't fine enough,
and I miss you
- a swan sailing between two continents,
a ghost immune to radar.
Still, my eyes are fixed upon
the place I last saw you,
your signal urgent but breaking,
before you became cotton in a blizzard,
a plane coming down behind enemy lines."

I have to ration 'Megahertz'. Too, too sad.
PS: That live version of 'Forbidden Colo(u)rs' is just lovely. Lawdy, I love Sylvian's voice.
I gobbled up this Ryuichi Sakamoto. Thank you!
Missed it..any chance of reposting the Sylvian/Sakamoto live gem? Many thanks. (solongsoho@hotmail.co.uk)
