In dead silence, in prayer,
you crossed on your forehead
ten fingers for your ten sins
At a table made of wood
far from everything
in a cottage next to a lake
with fat swans.
Once you were young,
hale and handsome criminal.
You talked like a crazy man,
did crazy things.
Time races on, bearing you along
toward your last
wretched breath.
