hey you, who are descending staircase
with on your brow
afraid of going down you let your
down the stairs like a shadow.
yes, you.
this underpass in springtime of dust
and a breeze blows by.
up your rhythm
keep up your
and down those stairs
as if your life on that.
pass by that leaning
kick the dogs
kick the too
and go fast to the counter.

and when you can't it anymore
when your
and legs have reached their limit
at time
a fall will ensue.
you as if
your legs fell off your
or there's a pause
a heart attack
but you don't know it is.

you
know.
you
up speed
and as you speed up your
and your trembling lips to resonate.
the fall comes at the moment
and it easier.
and you ask
who are we?
who am i
al?
your squeak
am i but
a crawling of art?
am i but
a voice sounding
accross sky
so blue it looks it's been dyed?
am i but

this fall through thin
that melts away
voice that away
voice from the
keep up rhythm
keep up your
with
flair
hey you, legs,
hey you, my legs
go on a stroll
as the silent time by
the silently
itself.
goodbye.
