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.
