It is my beloved’s silver
It is my beloved’s silver.
I’ll gently say good-bye,
and tell her not to cut the thorns of the first
life-climbing rose.
And when I walk through the valley of the shadow,
she’ll come down to the small harbour, taking off her sandals,
dive into the sea,
repeating the names of all who left,
of all who loved her,
hesitating at the tavern door,
seeing my empty place, the violin on the table, a
silence greater than the slowness of the sea shores,
and she’ll consider everything, in each sound, in each tear, in
nothing.
She’ll turn her back.
We have never been of this world, I’ll finally tell her, as I close
the last door.
