How many thousand years the wind kept
blowing
words over cities, which are always
far too noisy?
There never has been any sentence
smart enough
not to be over voiced by all days’
hurly-burly.
Life in the caravansarays and taverns
may differ from the life lead at the
altars,
and yet all speakers at all places
ever
have but recognized their own word as
truth.
And so the warrior’s profession had
been born,
and there is no spot spared by all of
this,
until the stones that used to weave
up buildings
lie scattered on rubble tips,
withering away.
And then, how many years die wind
will have been blowing
words over cities not so loud no
more?
Because there never is a sentence
full of peace
enough not to be over-voiced soon by
the hurly-burly.
