My kerosene lamp burns for you
in your nightmares
endless depths,
tormented by restless dreams,
the soul hurts, cries.
Life’s failures steal
peace, a spasm on the pale face a tragedian with an imprisoned mind.
You are looking for a way out of the abyss,
you dig with an uncertain step
slowly, reluctantly. A hint
light causes sensations.
Photophobia covers the face. It’s an illusion
hell fire. Mining everything
more slowly. Oh, is blackness so sweet!
You fantasize about getting out of the disheartening depth. The fuse is getting shorter, it will soon disappear light. You feel a cowardly, ambivalent relief. No, it’s not you anyway, you refuse help. More you no one can help. I spend in vain precious time. You are in the gap between the old and the new. Remember how it started.
A parasite in your mind, a comfortable sleeper,
Created by the bizarreness of one’s own thoughts. Only you
you can destroy the neman you created. Take your hands away from your face, it will hurt at first, hold on free.
