Melancholia Revisited
At dusk I entered an empty house
the leaves on the floor came to greet me
a wild dog’s shadow, bellowing by the water
the time has shown me
what died before its destiny
It will come back to haunt us;
faithless, it was just a story
I no longer have the appetite
to believe in myths —
