You Say: the Answer

Kurtistani; aab, cddceec, ffb


You say that more than anything I crave
to know how it is beyond the grave,
what's underneath the mystical death mask.

My dear, this is true. Back in the day
I was engrossed in darkness. I have sought
to practice magic, to imagine naught,
to look behind the curtain with x-ray
of my imagination, to revive
dead languages, to dig myself alive...
and I have found the answer, by the way.

Despite the answer was a little blurred,
I could, perhaps, express it in one word.
I'd say to you, but you will never ask.
