“The steam bath of your faces
the steam bath of your faces
the steam bath of your faces
foreto opening memory’s window take a look around what is situated in the distance
take a count of the moving and the restless
and count out on your hand A those restless ones
those restless ones foreto taking from movement accepting life
long to move and yet still sleeputh
or quick say: from movement comes life
but in stillness death.”
