2. Eliogabalus 

I dread the great winged insects 

And the cat-headed butterflies; 

Above all the fleshy wings 

Of the birds 

Trying to clutch me 

At times I thought 

I was a glass bowl 

And I trembled 

Fearing ti be cracked 

Or I felt as if 

I had committed 

A horrible crime 

(But... which one?) 

Sinking off (only) 

At night 

Then I was in a vast garden 

And I cut the tree in the middle 

"Tree of the knowledge 

Of dood and evil" 

Building a vessel 

That I named "Narrenschiff" 

And I sailed through 

Black waves of clotted blood 

Closing my eyes... 

Whwn I opened them 

I was sitting on the throne 

With the terror 

Of an endless hiccup 

Anxiety 

Not to walk on the lines 

I carry on numbering things 

'Till I forget how many 

Then I start again... 

I don't give a damn 

For Caligula: just his horse! 

And I'm bored by 

Julius Caesar's 

Thousands words 

To cross the rubycon only 

"The mirror! The mirror! 

The mirrored life!" 

Same and adverse 

The real and its stage 

Flesh and blood puppets 

In the scene of the game 

Bitches to power 

The army is a ballet 

Empty the treasure 

In everyone's hands! 

"The mirror! The mirror! 

The mirrored life!" 

Sitting along in the empty pit 

Me 

The laughing man 

Innocent or absurd 

Not as death 

Living one instant 

But as the planet 

Diverse and deformed 

Watching the earth 

Beyond the mirror 

Now you, just you: 

Child 

Staring at me from the world 

- Biult on eternal repetitions - 

Behind the mirror 

Crack my world from side to side 

Kill me with every day 

To walk together 

Upon the sea... 

Life 

Is a state 

Of mind
