The morning was there, shinning like
Freshly smithed iron. And I, I
Was in my room, tightly gripping a knife...
The window opened and I saw
A cat brush against the wooden frame.
"Still the same, still the same" I heard it say.
"Let me be, and just let me die.
I beg to have the last moments
Of my life; to do so in solitude."
"Fool... still the same..." I heard it say.
Its eyes looked at me as though the void
Was staring at me with its emptiness.
"Leave, ****** cat. All I knew is wrong,
All I had is now gone. I am...
Empty... so tell me why I am a fool."
"All you knew may be wrong, but all
You did not may be right. Why turn a
Circle into a half one? Tell me why."
"I don't understand you demon, go,
Leave me, let me die alone, let me
Be at last, at peace. I wish only for that..."
"Still the same, still the same" I heard it say
"Why run and get tired, when you can walk
And feel at ease, and have strength for later?"
"Leave me, whatever you are, leave me
And let me die. I do not understand
Your riddles, and words as empty as my soul."
"You do as others have done, you fail as
Others have failed. Like a cockroach you
Search for the darkness in the light."
"Go away, I am no petty insect... I am less,
A virus, a virus that only kills others and
Not itself. Now leave and let me die alone."
"Blood will not spill your sins, steel will
Not end your grief. No death will bring life.
And no darkness will escape the light. Now see..."
The morning was there, shinning like
Freshly smithed iron. And I, I
Was in my room, tightly gripping a knife...
