Ancient Script

"...how to go on until tomorrow?.."

Ancient Script

Now solitude flares in silence
You must speak to it,
only the drowsiness that ties your shoe,
that raises its head
know I am aging faster,
The train rattles into dusk
how to go on until tomorrow?

Nothing touches me
I often lose all desires
on the street,
Is it me dreaming at its own pace?
sunrays often slash the shadows
Is it myself I leave behind
in an ancient, torn script?
