Chapter 3 Missing, haunting shadows

Missing, entangled shadows in deep loneliness. You are far away, oh, farther than anyone else. Missing, unfettered flocks, dissolving images, Buried lights. How far away is the misty belfry! Suffocating lament, tossing and dim hope the silent mill, The night falls on you, face down, away from the city. You come from another place, a strange object. I ponder and search the vast, life before you. My life before anyone else, my hard life. Shouting to the sea, among the rocks, Free-spirited, crazy, in the waves. The sad tide, the howling, the loneliness of the sea. Go forward bravely, stretch violently to the sky.

You woman, what are you?What light, what wind Fanning in the expanse?Your past is as far away as your present. Forest fire!Burning blue cross. Burn, burn, the flames rise, and the sparks hang on the glorious trees. Collapsing and crackling.fire Fire. My heart dances, haggard in curls of fire. Who is calling?What silence is filled with echoes? Moments of nostalgia, moments of happiness, moments of loneliness. My moment is in it all! The wind sang, past the hunting horns. Crying passion wrapped around my body. Shaking of all roots, Attack of all waves! My mind is wandering, happy, sad, endless.

Missed, buried in the deep loneliness of the lamp. who are you?who are you? Translated by Wang Yangle
