          Still breaking ever sooner
          than fixing shattered pieces
          I shed off dried and cracking
          without some clues or traces,
          where certainly, they fell
          along this wide-eyed skin,
          my gazes missed good byes
          of torches flown from sins;

          what's behind this fragility,
          what's been triggering my breaks,
          what such heaviness I poured
          that's flooding all my flakes;
          soul-suffocating;
          my passages of breath,
          my channel nerve cells' flow
          where common sense I bled;

          no climax at arising;
          from mid-horizon's dream
          for no beginner's yet alive,
          no stepping stones they seem;
          but lightly taking chances
          and pulling backwards fear,
          of still pursuing earthly prize
          untouched by wisdom spear;

           for only reasons of truth
           of reality's one requirement,
           most no privileged, constant measure
           by learners passing their enslavement;
           but victory of losing art
           for wages of furnished life
           yet, valued much to breathe survival
           for paid wishes, believing dies.
