In the wordless chamber 

They feared death 

Desperately 

Thus they clustered to the fruits of the earth 

Craving dispersion 

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
