but the bird knows
who is standing motionless
in the filed
...
We tied our horses to the gatesof the city
came to buy some grass
Nobody was there

You
then you see your face
in the mirror
hanged
on the wall
right in front of you.
do`nt deny
it is you
you yourself
before waking up
and washing your face.
