Sounds
of a
guilty
silence
in Spring
May - but days are gloomy
clouds rain cool
there is no sun - too bad
feverish waiting has passed
enthusiasm dispelled
new-old reality returned
the world is as it was
gray
the same oblivion
wall of ignorance
not to be conquered
but also renewed hope
in spite of despair
- because it is May
