NIGHT AND DEATH - TWINS

A night, 

The suspense revives again.

Enlarges fear’s chances, 

A silence appears slowly – 

Terrible! 

The worst! 

Slumber threatens the eyes, 

(It is the pet junior of the darkness), 

Subdues the faint and the ill… 

The moon sighs for – 

A piece of charity, 

A night 

You will crumple easily. 

Heartburn leads you on to the bed, 

A sleep, 

(Is it deliverance indeed?) 

Is it taught to die eventually? 

A night lasts long and is equal to dying.
