Learn how to die in silence
like a wolf...
Like footprints on a deserted shore
or a text that is no longer there...
Like all the futures that are past now.

Learn how to bid a gentle farewell
like vanishing stars at the crack of the dawn
like the squeaks of a little bat caught by the first sunrays.

The panic-stricken screams of a young whore
in the dark alleys.
Richard's last sigh with a bible in hand
or the fall of a willow's last bud
Such a rigour of a supreme justice.
