Around you

 

Here you stand before my abysmal grave

I see your flowers fall, I see you cry quite softly

and I whisper even more quietly,

that I am inside you now, 

             that I am around you in one infinity.

 

The smell of cloves and the dull sound of dancing feet

I see your flowers fall; 

             I see someone grabbing you by the neck

on the muddy edge 

             where the plank does not close tightly

and I am within you now, 

             yes, I am around you in one infinity.

 

Right through your eyes the cross blazes up

just to straddle the chasm 

             that was for all the world a boat

your long hair like leaves in the wind

and I am within you now, 

             yes, I am around you in one infinity.
