Elegy

 

Suddenly everything is gone: you yourself, the face of your mother

Stares at you like a colour print, vague and from a long long time

ago.

 

Suddenly everything is gone: out of the breath and hair of your love

For a long time already, the healing odour of eternal home has not

blown.

 

Suddenly everything is gone: the song, thewhich has blossomed on the youngster,

Is more and more estranged, distant as the god in whom you believed

during childhood.

 

Your sorrow is also on its way out: suddenly you forget

What once the world was finished by, who it is, him, the one that is

crying.
