Cool subjective looks go deep The languishing desert – so bleak With time like a dagger in the hand, This moment makes impressions in the sand.
The ridiculous smile inside a tomb The laughing – coming into this room And the look – rapidly ageing The minute – watching, not sleeping
II
The cool look buried in the sand The lively legs, moving too grand The lying sun, giving without measure As the tomb moves to the edge, closer, closer
A door opens and a fraction of light enters The window shuts and the wind gentles The cool looks go deeper, deeper But the impressions fade slower, slower
Being close to the edge, into a winter Where the air is gentle and thinner Looking over into a slowing tomb, I’m listening, to the falling snow, in my room
III
Closer, come closer the edge ever closer Look down the outlook forever Subject the moment in time, to a smile Impress the desert sands to new time Measure the sun’s giving .. closer, closer. Closer to the edge – listen for the words! Close to the edge – giving back the clouds!
