Thirst of immensity
In the freezing night I walk in grassland
The ice crystals sparkle in the moonlight
and as a lament squeak beneath my soles
Thousands of frozen air teeth bite my cheeks
The night is so deep that it seems bewitched
The stars sing their song from everlasting
I hear them blinking into the silence
Walking towards them as towards a dream
I would like to never have to go back
Let my body rise in the infinite
Dive into the ocean of the cosmos
And swim ahead without ever stopping
Unquenchable thirst of immensity
Screaming from my heart as an unknown sense
