In the wordless chamber
They feared Death
Desperately
Thus they clustered
To the fruits of the Earth
Craving diversion
As if to avoid knowing why
In the wordless chamber
They feared life
Desperately
Thus they proclaimed
Any given truth
And swallowed
As if to justify their fear
He knew that there had been hordes of seers
Before him who set out to cure
Though the sick wished not to part with their decease
As if it made them feel alive
In the wordless chamber
He accepted desperation
And the unpredictable manifestations
Of hope
