Silence of the Bat
The silence of the Bat
The bat is silent, still
Awake in the dark, never resists the sun
Even on the human's table
or becomes auspicious decoration
It remains silent
...
Humans bestow their own eternal crown
Pave a pilgrimage with lies
Most beautiful languages are for those in the front
Hymns are followed by funeral songs
The bat remains silent
...
They hang upside down from the cliff
Guard the black hole of life
Like the clock‘s tickers stop, silent and still
But the orgy before the altar
continues
