Decadence - Die Form

The little boy stayed alone, closed eyes, in his room

He is dressed up as a girl and is playing with a doll

On the floor have rolled some marbles like eyes

And his black-stained handkerchief

Flew away in the corridor

In the empty cupboards, he stowed his things away:

Dead leaves, branches and mummified animals

Unceasingly he sees his story without understanding

The meaning as transformed by time passing by

He does not feel cold nor hungry anymore

But in the hollow of his hand

He strongly grasps his little sister’s heart

In the empty cupboards, he stowed his things away:

Dead leaves, branches and mummified animals
