I Have Decided
I have decided to find myself a home in the mountains, somewhere high up where one learns to live peacefully in the cold and the silence.

from Hum, Hum

Oh the house of denial has thick walls
and very small windows
and whoever lives there, little by little,

and I did it in the dark — I mean, without understanding.

I ran away again

(from poem: Hum, Hum)
