The endless threads
of my memories
a sweet, painful song
to which I surrender
and I do not know why
the look in your eyes
a rending of silk
the long unwinding
I am forever lost in it
but all is forsaken
what torments me
circles in the night
I whisper your name
the waves still rise
and in the dawning
I am alone again
still longing for you
