Brother, you have been with me so long.
Now you've departed to our common goal,
leaving me where everything is bare,
a solitary figure on a solitary knoll.
Must I wait here long on my own?
Give it a day or a year and I'll vacate this spot
from which I gaze into the evening murk,
not knowing what will be my fate.
ciro & ex-voto by io
Non-being is so simple! Nothing leaves a trace.
With or without me, whom does it concern?
Snows will sweep the steppes. The gloom will be the same
and everything will stay precisely in its place!
You can't count losses. Someone's counted every day.
That vibrant life's already far behind.
Ahead, there's absolutely nothing
and I, just as I am along the fateful queue pick out my way.
