    On the last evening on this earth, we sever our days
    from our trees, and count the ribs we will carry along
    and the ribs we will leave behind, right here . . . on the last evening
    we bid nothing farewell, we don't find the time to end who we are . . .
    everything remains the same, the place exchanges our dreams
    and exchanges its visitors. Suddenly we are incapable of satire
    since the place is ready to host the dust . . . here on the last evening
    we contemplate mountains surrounding clouds: a conquest and a counterconquest
    and an ancient time handing over our door keys to the new time
