Terzanelle Nr.06 — Floating Ark
My eyes became accustomed to the dark
accustomed to the subtle shades of light
as silhouettes became a floating ark
The labels we invent like day and night
cut up holy cycles into bits,
accustom us to making dark the light
Defending all these labels gives us fits,
we rage against another’s point of view
and cut up holy people into bits
But holding back and asking is it true?
maintains an open mind…, we try … forget …
and spike again the other’s point of view
The signals clanging loudly force a bet:
how crucial is the message in our veins
supporting open minds that soon forget
The light is biting, tugging at the chains
as eyes become accustomed to the dark
we greet the crucial message in our veins
and thank the silhouette, the floating ark.
