We can't be so complete a thing
to always be the same inside.
Us clouds of hopes too shy to sing,
we can't be so complete a thing.

the little voice has always cried
"we can't be so complete!" A thing
to always be the same inside.

Begin again, the dark scene where
the fisher of forgotten things
remembers. Not the same despair…
