Chapter 14 dawn
new york dawn
It's four mud pillars
It was soaked in sewage for a while
The storm of the black dove.
new york dawn
sigh for the endless staircase
To be among the hosta bushes
Look for the anguish of painting.
The dawn comes, no one greets it in his mouth,
Because there is no tomorrow here, and there can be no hope.
Sometimes money makes a wicked bond,
Stabbed and devoured the deranged child.
Those who came out first knew in their bones
There will be no heaven, nor unarmed love;
They know they're going into the sludge of protocol and numbers
Do tricks without art, sweat without results.
The light is buried in chains and tumult,
In the brazen challenge of a rootless science.
The streets are full of staggering and sleepless people
As if freshly disembarked from a wrecked ship caught in a bloody catastrophe.
