Crossfire
Ask not for a search for silver lines
Bleeding and tarnishing under the clouds,
Ask not about the glasses,
Questions about liquids cannot measure
The depth of feelings centered on the universe,
Throw them against the wall,
Ask instead, once glasses are abolished,
“The day, the night,
Which one is the memento mori?” |
