expecting the heroes
why did we fall apart
losing faith in our lucky stars;
burying the sun
said Mandelstam
it's as if
they have buried the sun
we can no longer
do the radiant sums
I wait in simple silence
under the Advent's star
as if I could gaze that far
wondering why
by the ancient sundial reckoning
everything seemed to turn out
beyond all Cause
like the Pietas.
