WHITE NIGHTS

Help me lie back
Lie back and look at
The mended sky
And at myself

I know very well
There is nothing
There is nothing happening
The water drop that is falling
Is not rain

There are no winds blowing
There are no herds of clouds rolling
And I am not there
I am not there to give you
The ember of my eyes
The sky-blue smiles

This is what I wanted to say:
Help me only lie back
Maybe I will close my eyelids
And will remember all my life in only one instant

Diminished
Twisted
Folded
Sounds of darkness
Eternity
Endlessness
If I can only lie back
And look up…
