Flee! - Lonelady

Flee to the outskirts;

the ground is crumbling

The sky is falling

Flee to the outskirts;

the ground is crumbling

The sky is falling

How did I become so pared — typing S.O.S in an empty square?

Hurry.

The sky is falling;

hurry

Where to go?

I ask — but neither man nor beast could answer me;

Frozen was their speech

A courtyard, a light flickering

Dart across the eye — shapes I can’t identify

I’m running to a place that doesn’t exist

Demon-animals look from a terrace

Where to go?

I ask.

The sky is falling

Falling

How did I become so pared — typing S.O.S in an empty square?

Flee to the outskirts.

Hurry;

please hurry

High and steep the moors rise — a retreat or danger?

I drink from icicles

First light;

in mist find spectres everywhere.

They rise

And vanish in the air —

Where to go?

I ask — but neither man nor beast could answer me;

«Remember!»

I wanted to shout.

Buildings sink into the mud

Lost across time.

I wanted to shout «Remember!»

«Remember!»

«Remember!»

«Remember!»

«Remember!»
