Andreas Dunkel: The House

I've built this house

With a smile

Thinking you could

Watch me do it

And if these arms

Don't lose their strength

Might stand it firmly

For a while

But neither do I own it

Nor will you ever stay inside

So I step back

Behind blunt sights

Of disenchanted visions

What I do own

Is all the void

Around the

Massive building

From where I turn

Aside the smile

Let silence

Last towards it

And if I'll ever

Build a new house

Would it be alike?

Oh, neither will you miss me

Nor could you even breathe inside

So I pass by

Down the main road

And leave ourselves behind
