Man and the Beast

After knowing so much 
of unknown, 
you were afraid, but I 
lunge for the relic.

How far you will sink 
in the depth of cries ? 
The moon will not- 
offer her lips.

Light will not give you 
the vision. A sin unrolls. 
The city burns in its- 
own garbage.

As soon as the water 
dries, eyes will blink- 
to nail down the constellation 
in fog. The tongues retreat.
