Elaborating This Kingdom Of Silence

elaborating this kingdom of silence
the dream-snow settles down
everywhere is a marvel

and the fragile song arises

with no witnesses
against the backdrop

of yesterday's distress



the burden of words is light

and fused with light,
beyond all sorrow, hushed-

your heart fills up with snow
