Darkness (11/11) |
Day dawns dark, it now numbers infinity |
Life crawls from the past, watching in wonder |
I trace its patterns in me |
Tomorrow’s tomorrow is birth again |
Boats burn the bridge in the fens; |
The time of the past returns to my life |
And uses it |
Don’t blame me for the letters that may form in the sand; |
Don’t look in my eyes, you may see all the numbers |
That stretch in my sky and colour my hand |
Don’t say that I’m wrong in imagining |
That the voice of my life cannot sing |
Fate enters and talks in old words: |
They amuse it |
Hands shine darkly and white; |
Only in dark do they appear |
Bless the baby born today |
Flying in pitch, flying on fear |
(Wicked little Scorpio, doomed to die a thousand times before he lives.) |
They shine in my eyes and touch my face |
Where I have seen them placed before; |
Don’t blame me, please, for the fate that falls: |
I did not choose it |
I did not, no, no, I did not |
I truly did not choose it |
