Poem
Lucebert
05. ashes all
ashes allmolasses all
of measuring hand molasses all
mara made in moab
cain naphtali barabbas rothschild reich
noömi made in mara
molasses all
as many as 6 cups of barley were placed on her head
but stature alone gives the auslade
eisenwucht namer and name
or the sephiroth swings
beats of the metaphone
mara made in moab
noömi made in mara
but all is molasses
and all is ashes

as alles
as alles
melasse alles
van meethand melasse alles
mara made in moab
kaïn naphtali barrabas rothschild reich
noömi made in mara
melasse alles
wel 6 kop gerst werd op haar hoofd gezet
maar gestalte alleen geeft de auslade
eisenwucht noemer en naam
of de sephiroth zwaait
maten van de metaphoon
mara made in moab
noömi made in mara
maar alles is melasse
en alles is as
melasse alles
van meethand melasse alles
mara made in moab
kaïn naphtali barrabas rothschild reich
noömi made in mara
melasse alles
wel 6 kop gerst werd op haar hoofd gezet
maar gestalte alleen geeft de auslade
eisenwucht noemer en naam
of de sephiroth zwaait
maten van de metaphoon
mara made in moab
noömi made in mara
maar alles is melasse
