Night close to the sky!
As if the soul has taken it in, it gazes.
Leaf by leaf, obedient
It goes, accompanied by the living
To the edge of the sword
Who is waiting? And on the other side? Who steers the weather
And when it still does not want to? Then
In the deep olive grove of the breeze
Unspoken awe. And a silvery silence that always hides
And you never encounter it.
