Where do you go, so far away?
Rocket ships can't get there from here
No winged creature could follow that track
There's something in the eyes that chills
Hands that are cruel, stronger than before
Something that skulks, yet taunts from afar-
An anchor holds me underwater, I can't swim;
An anvil weighs on me, I can't escape
Please come back from that nether world
Where everything is backward and pitched
Come back to where voices carry
And warm eyes plead not in vain
The peaceful ones sleeping in tombs
Are no less responsive, in their time stilled reveries
Where do you go, so far away?
