whilst i thought i was climbing |
|
i found myself descending |
|
having lost my way let me go up |
|
having lost my way let me go down |
|
i have no other work to do |
|
it would have been better |
|
no to be the mother |
|
it is sorrowful |
|
when a son goes away |
|
let alone |
|
and when he dies |
|
i watched quietly |
|
when the grave was being dug |
|
knowing that he won't come back |
|
and i shall not be here |
|
for much longer |
|
even if i become |
|
like a king or like the wind |
|
never |
|
never will death |
|
stay away |
|
but when he called me from above |
|
neither voice nor word to say yes |
|
we just quietly say yes to him |
|
it is a debt |
|
which must be paid |
|
here is your flesh |
|
take it from me |
|
it seems to me |
|
that you can't destroy it |
|
having spent the day with pain |
|
am i going to spend the night with pain? |
|
this living to eat |
|
is so tiring for me |
|
i am feeling cold inside |
|
let me go on seeking fire |
|
even death is better |
|
than this useless life |
|
the mast of a ship |
|
a nakedness |
|
the leader of whores |
|
sheds the female breast |
|
he tramples down |
|
the vast furnace |
|
Godlike and piercing |
|
binding and bitter |
|
and cleaving asunder |
|
bones bound together |
|
and paleness breaking |
|
and rending |
|
abiding in a place |
|
tending into nothingness |
|
dampness tending onto corruption |
|
corruption |
|
corruption |
|
corruption |
|
and merchants in trembling |
|
dragged down into horror |
|
terrible and whirling |
|
the dust in the palm |
|
sublime circumcision |
|
solitude and desolation |
|
a goatherd unto lost |
|
all destruction |
|
grinding thin powder |
|
withering and fading |
|
the reaping-hook of dullness |
|
earth thrown up |
|
all flesh turn |
|
the mountains are cast out |
|
lions trembling with fury |
|
thy braking in my barrenness |
|
the destroyer of days |
|
the silent lion |
|
we know him fury |
|
the death of flesh |
|
he moves with a creeping motion |
|
they destroy by the sky flame |
|
of their smoky breath |
|
the painbringers |
|
they shriek with a |
|
long |
|
drawn |
|
cry |
