THE REFUGEE

web | Black book of the Endangered Species

1.
Every minute
has its countless cities
and skies,
briefly illuminated clouds,
windows lit by the sunset...
Every minute
has its secret corridors
leading to dark rooms.

Who lives there?
What would we have said to each other?
How would we have lived there?

Every minute I pass
endless doors
to eternal life...

2.
My soul,
we have guilty knowledge
of our loneliness, of the end.
And our guilt keeps us
from Paradise.

The clock raises its two swords
across the path of minutes
we might have traveled to eternity.
