To know a person,
a person that is alive behind shut eyelids;
a body only present,
able to be physically held, caressed,
but not able to be talked to,
a sleeping soul in a human being,
is the body even human now at all?

To know such a person,
a person in such a slumber,
it is only right to wonder:
how long will it take
for the soul to awaken again?
