Close your eyes and pay attention—
gather near your comprehension.
Don’t worry, it will only
make you weary. (Close your eyes,
they look so bleary. Pay attention.) Have
faith in yourself if you’re good at forgetting.
Have faith in others if you’re good
at remembering. And stepping aside, 
where have you been your whole life?
I am only trying to help you be less
lonely. If only, if only you could see.
Close your eyes and pay attention; 
it’s all so heavy you can’t even breathe.
(What a relief.) My breath is steamed and
my eyes have dreamed, and my lips are
frozen. Ascend supreme, ascend your dreams.
I have chosen, I have chosen,
I won’t turn back again. Quiet now,
the wind is whispering.
I don’t say enough,
but I hope you’re listening.
