Work stops at sunset. Darkness falls over the building site. The sky is filled with stars. “There is the blueprint,” they say.
“I want to hear the one thing speak that
cannot speak.
I want to know the things that can’t be known.
I want to speak only here in his closed book.
To hear those sorts of things said, that can
only be spoken in this sort of closed silence.
When the rest of the world is not awake to any
of this, and I also would rather be sleeping.
The wind making its marks on the other side of day.
And the crystal only keeping its lights, to itself.
And to me.”
