The most quiet song – the sheep of lost days.

 

We are here but for a moment, my friend,

without palms

without vocal chords

and like an album

we open ourselves, before we will be put aside

and burnt.

The most quiet song is the song behind the wall

like the solitary tear of the rivers.

The most quiet song is the unheard one,

the song without words

like a naked woman

thrown to the mercy of the children from afar,

a song about a pain that passes and quiets down

alone.
