THE CAGE
It’s sunny outside.
5
It’s no more than a sun
7
but the men watch it
5
and then sing.
3
I don’t know the sun.
5
I know the melody of an angel
9
and the last wind’s
4
warm sermon.
3
I know how to wail until dawn,
8
when death poses naked
6
in my shadow.
3
I weep beneath my name.
6
I wave handkerchiefs in the night
9
and ships thirsty for reality
6
dance with me.
4
I conceal nails
4
to mock my sick dreams.
4
It’s sunny outside.
5
I dress myself in ashes.
