|
A spirit rose from the earth |
|
Slowly leaving... |
|
Their candle-flame lonely, and so needing |
|
Like dust in the night the prayers rise |
|
Under the sick image of Christ |
|
They talk to the nothingness |
|
Old wounds were never mended |
|
Something drops from the (autumn) leaves |
|
Again it rains: |
|
In a dry corner, salvation again declines |
|
Sleep like a skull in the hard ground |
|
Nothing for ears nothing for eyes |
|
Without a shadow, waiting for nothing |
|
The dark room, the moist tenement (of earth) |
|
The cold kiss of release, great light |
|
He was never man enough |
|
In a world of cruel faces |
|
He discovered that he was never man enough |
|
He discovered nothing |
|
Far above and beyond... |
|
All in the name of god |
|
The eyes refused to look ahead... |
