Whenever I Go There

Whenever I go there everything is changed
 
The stamps on the bandages the titles
Of the professors of water
 
The portrait of Glare the reasons for
The white mourning
 
In new rocks new insects are sitting
With the lights off
And once more I remember that the beginning
 
Is broken
 
No wonder the addresses are torn
 
To which I make my way eating the silence of animals
Offering snow to the darkness
 
Today belongs to few and tomorrow to no one
