A wish

After a thousand nights

And a thousand stories

All mysteries end and so does glory

The lights go out

Glimmer dies

Shimmer there was none

Or flowers to delight

What is left are memories

Simmering coals of hope

Burning desires, pain....

And a wish....

Which fingers tattoo in words on a keyboard

Untill there is nothing to hear or say

Except the staccato sounds of a nurse's heel

And perpetual silence at the morgue
