I am thinking of you - as of a corpse Go on and tell me all the lies I am at legs of yours - heart-sunken Eyes are dull - do eat the flesh I offer The sole emasculation - paganism of truth For asking hand is beaten - better Deserters' solitude - abandoned hope For never leaving guilt - ashamed Of silence - welcoming to home Seen flaws - are signs of given Conscience - though shut - is mouth Inaction - tethering regret to sorrow And misery is standing by the side Impersonating whole of circus For beggar is forborn attention "I'm here" - the drowning whisper Arms choking throat - hand traces Running tear - "I'm with you" Caressing warmth of lifeless palm Invites the strengthening of strangling For frail innocence is crippled dome "I do forgive you"
