I passed the mortuary,
A bell rang there for me.
Cold flowers. Cold flowers glass
Now dust within a sigh.
I ran to the heart of the city
That plagued so many dreams
And the people inside of me
Began to scream:

“All hail the lunatic.
So many worlds and so many skies.
All hail the lunatic
From such shrines inside his eyes
All hail
The lunatic.”

I passed the old cathedral,
A silence invited in the chill.
Gallant tomb. Tomb of my hopes.
What talks we have had,
Though the tenant does not know.
Won't he? Won't he take a walk with me?
No. Only the air will he be
And I will smile at the dreamed reply:

“All hail the lunatic.
So many worlds and so many skies.
All hail the lunatic
From such shrines inside his eyes.
All hail
The lunatic.”
