In utter silence,
In a midnight half-sleep
I hear: near, two steps away
& nbsp;Someone is walking…
Maybe you're coming to me,
Maybe just on the wall
Hands in an old clock
& nbsp;round Dance…
In utter silence
Empty in the kitchen window:
It's like looking at a square
& nbsp;Casimir…
No moon, no stars around.
It was as if everything had suddenly died out
In the clash of monads
& nbsp; & nbsp; Roses of the World.
The world has faded... and only in me
In utter silence
Fighting dream and fear:
& nbsp;Who goes there?
Are you coming to me through the darkness?
Or is life like this?
Or the hands on the clock
& nbsp;Round dance?
