Some day soon
….I’ll leave the imprint of my lips
On the misted glass between us
And withdraw – coldly, a dissipating cloud of regret –
And as this my carriage, this prison my body slowly dissolves
(My smile the last to go)
The invisible skeleton of my voice will proclaim
(One last time)
Farewell my loves! At last I know
This is the Secret:
