Emptiness

I feel empty,
in the clarity of the dawn,
in the most impious sunset…

Wasteland, wild, gloomy…

I search and find you,
in this bare desert,
in this vacuous dark…

I look at you and I lose you…
I hear you, and again I feel the defiance…

How dark is this night!
What a cold dew!

How long is this hope!
How long is the tedium!

Late, hollow, eternal, empty…
