Selfsacrification
almost at dawn
the old year dying the new year cradling
they hurried to build walls
| all through the name |
they said
our graveyards won´t stretch
beyond the border of shadows
distant from nightmares
travelling we preferred to live our dream
outside walls
in the kingdom of the happiest sun
