Sensless

Give me a room in darkness, and a cloth to cover my head
Pour wax into my ears, but don't mistake me for dead.
Clear the wall of pictures, of colors of blue, of yellow, of red
Take away all the words I've heard and all the words I've said.

Cover the windows in black, stuff up the crack's in the door
Make good use of the rugs so that light does not reflect off the floor.
Shut out the noise from outside, the sound of the breeze makes me sore
Take away the brass and the gold plate and that painting I bought from that store.

Don't let anyone come near me, or call out my name
Lock the door on the outside, put bars across it's frame.
Don't ask me for my motive, don't ask me for my aim
It is not a round of hide and seek, it's not a silly game.

Once you have done all this, leave me in my peace
Leave me alone in the darkness and all activity, cease.
I don't want to think of flowers, of birds, of skies, of trees.
Neither of home, of wilderness, of deserts , of mountains, of seas.

I don't want to hear any story of king or slave or beast
I want to lie awake in the darkness, I don't want to fall asleep in the least
I don't want to dream of a lover, or dream of a big wedding feast
I want to lie in a corner, far far from the fiery light of the east.
