F a l l a s l e e p: Night resonance recedes (I regret that I have not really Understood any thing, not a single Object and that no man ever can, The fascinating waltz of nature here In sight of the sea taking advantage Of me to dart upon me and sting me, Because I've dared to open my mouth To sing at all) I nearly die of all the beauty S l e e p: a f a l l Fragments tearing asunder, Elements of my mind Echoes lost in purple smoke Like visions in eclipse Elements tearing asunder, Fragments of my mind Visions lost in purple smoke Like echoes in eclipse Sleep took me by the brow and laid me Back. then, down in a flood of remembrance I remembered her sea-reflecting eyes, The eyes-reflecting sea and all the Resounding things in between. I tryed to listen in awe but... For a moment, like a wavering spark, BLOOD Her face laid there before my breast, Pale love lost in the winds of september Guarded by glittering tears and lips apart With dumb cries... TEARS A supreme moment, like an indolent sigh, A memorized experience of tomorrow? Or just a dark figment of my imagination? I'm unsure. ... sane, but in a way dimorphously risking Absurdity I looked into the mirrors, again And again, caught as in a nightmare, Or did they look on me? I don't know but that's rather ominous, Something happened... In her looking-glass my lips part as though I wanted to speak A strange labyrinth, ways on all sides, But how shall I turn? Seasons changed with my confidence... ... a fine wind blew the new direction of time Time, that is watching from the shadows SHADOWS I wonder who I am. I don't know and swoon away with consternation Clatter in my ears and a face in my mind That puts a blame on me I don't understand, loosing myself again Nevertheless I can't let this fall into oblivion... A deep breath and that vast hunger for Everything beyond us Help me to follow you, a phantom still I walk on, as if out of my own young life, As if escaping into another dream, Another life, another me I seem to drift away like the waters And I don't know what I am going to be) Do what we will Our hasty minutes fly And while we sleep What do we else but die All these joys How short their day They creep on towards us But fly away I wake to what is real and not a dream I dream of what is real and Wake to what's no dream I wake to what is dream and What's not real I dream of what is real and Wake to what is dream
