Some people say |
|
"Arise! Arise! Arise! Live friend live!" |
|
I say: "Die." |
|
I say: "Shade yourself." |
|
I say: "Shine what precious light you have into caves, |
|
And when it dies out stay in there" |
|
I say "find life where you foolishly saw graves." |
|
Some people say to "Try and try and try! |
|
Fight and save yourself!" |
|
I say: "Give". |
|
I say "Send them off." |
|
I say "Shed whatever husk if you are ripe, |
|
And if you're not, be fragrant then" |
|
I say: "Give. No matter how it hurts, give in!" |
|
Some people say "The sky! The sky! The sky! |
|
Have you noticed it" |
|
I close my eyes, I say nothing now. |
|
There's a ringing in my ears that's faint and high, |
|
And when I listen close to it, it says: |
|
" " |
