At night the moonbeams snap.

The stars are suffocated.

That malign, unhappy barn owl

screeches out its grief.

The old train on the tracks

hurtles to its destruction,

wheezing out its last breath.

And I? I send my thoughts beyond these walls

day in, day out, from dawn to night

(from dawn to night, day in day out).

I dream the endless daydream,

dream the endless journey

through the night, fretting,

champing at the bit:

the one I call for does not come,

the one I wait for never appears

Ah, if only I could stop the

thinking, seeing, hearing, dreaming ...

I wouldn't feel a thing.
