nielles - Laruent Fels

stone of clay

in the void

of sands

you say

the absence

of the evening

remaining desire

to live

the memory

of the ash

erased

by the gesture

of two lips

sealed

the voices

in the shadow

a life

backwards

we would have liked

the loss of memory

before the door

remaining closed

how

draw

the silence

on the edge

of the body

left

a prey

to time

word

buried

beneath the

warm earth

message of here

in the oblivion

of the flesh

a hand

will remain reaching

Certain

of the smile

the elsewhere

in abyss

to bore the bed

with fire

hope

is only

a vanishing

blaze

history

is no longer

the same

before the phoenix

The shadow of the word

will tell

anamnesis

written

in the wound

and transplant memories

on open land

think

the instant

in front of eternity

leading to

cages of wind

the word

offered

against

the enemy

which corrodes

from behind
