Someday, Somewhere
In the Future
too far or too close
You’ll find it
and you will hear it
How bones and joints,

similar to a mute sound,

will again be represented
words could not describe it…,
only lines,

moving towards a hidden song,

will be tangled together
and will penetrate into your bone marrow
at that moment
You will miss all the things that we’ve lost


 

this is our legacy for the time
for the future
