Don’t talk so loud I cannot stand loud voices
Everyone yells – what do they gain? – He said – If
you talk in a low voice I may believe you
I have hidden
my clock in the chest – it was cutting my year
crumb by crumb as if to feed the winter sparrows
Though I am not a bird – I want my year whole
without yelling and bangs like that slow train
in the afternoon on the far road toward Liosion1 Street
with plenty of wagons one behind the other
loaded with coal and on top of the heap the shovels
