Such a moment—is this what they call blessed time?
Let this instant be ours,
come, let's circle back, leaving the world behind
for that distant path
where everyone has fallen asleep,
where emptiness alone pursues time,
across that endless sky the stars burn
and silent wind stays awake.
When day dies out
stars bloom in clusters,
I'll drift there in the folds of air.
Your heart against my chest,
the two merge and become one,
as if a bodily moment slips quietly away, shedding flesh,
you-and-I and I-and-you together shape this auspicious hour,
we are lost, love remains,
when night sleeps, the heart wakes.
On the Other Side of Time
