What is the silence that ne’er sleeps in men?
Flowing, apex of the mount’ to aqueous
The remembrance, both stagnant place
Where my organs shattered the sacred face
I lived for thus, a way, for peace, how plain
These two, anew, a wane, where once I grew  
Go now to the ancient monoliths, pray
For the vultures beak is nearing your eye
Salvation comes not from your tong but ear
So you must listen to the silent ones
And watch your eye in the distant corner
Be awake and ‘ttentive while you’re living
    To be not ‘wake, not see the sun shining
    To be not ‘mate, without sunshine hiding    
  

I am the two-toed wanderer
