Twenty-First. Night. Monday
Twenty-first.
Night.
Monday.
Silhouette of the capitol in darkness.
Some good-for-nothing -- who knows why --
made up the tale that love exists on earth.
People believe it, maybe from laziness
or boredom, and live accordingly:
they wait eagerly for meetings, fear parting,
and when they sing, they sing about love.
But the secret reveals itself to some,
and on them silence settles down.
.
.
I found this out by accident
and now it seems I'm sick all the time.
