At the end of a corridor
Sits a light
Burning down a candle
Melting for an eternity
"Somewhere it is cold and sometimes
Wind is howling: understand
Somewhere blistering cold, but
I can't realize bitter chill for if I
Could, I would somehow
Not be here"
(So he shudders
Thinking) "but I will not
Anywhere else be for I
Live in this moment"
In that hall
With that candle
"And everything is warmer
Than ever I imagined anything could
Be; even better the way I
Feel about heat, constantly spreading"
(A gust breaks out of a door
A wind rushes onward
A light is drowned out
Despair falls like a curtain to the floor)
