first, their lies showed up
faster than sound
there was no time to make sense of it
time was on their side
with the first light of the day
the prayers broke into pieces
before they prostrated
for the barbarian there is nothing else
than their sacredness
the barbarians arrived
from the shores they reached with the ships
sailing through the spring gust
then inexpressible pains started to emerge
everyone took refuge in their sacred
deaths and migrations became commonplace
