Democritus Laughing
Adam Kalmbach
The world
Falls apart
Into facts
This eternal machine
For producing
Crushing
Swallowing up
A cemetery
Aimlessly
Revolving in space
Rot repeating itself
Where are those
Who were before us?
Driven along aimless desert paths
Abandoned
To a wilderness
Of the unbearable
Abandoned
To a wilderness
Of the unbearable
Lost
In the uselessness
Of pain
See the emptiness of the ruins
The sky teeming with worms
Turn
From the good
Back to the true
Turn
From the good
Back to the true
Bereft of denial's dissociation
Bereft of denial's dissociation
No return
No return
Wings spread
At the falling
Of dusk
Wings spread
At the falling
Of dusk
Wings spread
At the falling
Of dusk
