Flee!

Flee to the outskirts; the ground is crumbling
The sky is falling

Flee to the outskirts; the ground is crumbling
The sky is falling

How did I become so pared – typing S.O.S in an empty square?
Hurry. The sky is falling; hurry

Where to go? I ask – but neither man nor beast could answer me;
Frozen was their speech

A courtyard, a light flickering
Dart across the eye – shapes I can’t identify

I’m running to a place that doesn’t exist
Demon-animals look from a terrace

Where to go? I ask. The sky is falling
Falling

How did I become so pared – typing S.O.S in an empty square?
Flee to the outskirts. Hurry; please hurry

High and steep the moors rise – a retreat or danger?
I drink from icicles

First light; in mist find spectres everywhere. They rise
And vanish in the air —

Where to go? I ask – but neither man nor beast could answer me;

”Remember!” I wanted to shout. Buildings sink into the mud

Lost across time. I wanted to shout ”Remember!”

”Remember!”

”Remember!”

”Remember!”

”Remember!”
