Seven Evenings

 

I.

 

Looking for unused faces

In the piles of destroyed masks

To conceal

– When I meet you –

Some sadness used to cover

The continent of my heart.

 

2.

 

Being tortured by some songs

I threw my ears beyond the noisy silence.

 

To hear the same repeated news.

 

3.

 

Before the thousand closed doors

Of the palace of sorrow in my heart

I stand,

Without a key.

 

4.

 

I tie the stone of silence to my head

And fall,

In the sea of sleep,

Like an anchor splitting

The ocean’s breast!

 

5.

 

Rising from my head,

The memory of death grows,

To fall in my inkpot.

It makes the passed away people

scattering as letters do

in the wind’s hands.

Those are the crossing illusions

In my heart,

I shall never feel calm,

Till my heart puts its anchor

In the skin of darkness.

 

6.

 

I tell my daughter a story

Before she sleeps,

But we are always attacked by night

Before the prince of our tale

Meets the lady with the crystal shoe.

 

 

7.

Shut the window of the day

in the face of last night’s dreams.

 

To cry behind the curtains

of my forgotten days.
