WHAT HIS WIFE TELLS HIM

that lady with so many tongues
destroyed our friend
the tongues have told so many stories
which are never true
what we did was grow so many holes in our ears
and the stories of course become nothing but winds
we shut the door of our caves and we turn into mountains
and that lady with so many tongues
could not find us anymore
that friend whom that lady with so many tongues destroyed
had died a thousand deaths
lucky for her because she had once a thousand lives
and so there were so many stories about her
and that lady with so many tongues
with our ears with so many holes shall never hear
the stories of our lives
the beauty we have kept as secrets to ourselves
and that is how mountains come about
how caves have shut their mouths how since then
the world in its silence have become more beautiful than
ever
once upon a time.
