“always fugitive, always near
always concealed, always disdainful
always leaving, always untouched
always in black, always dreaming
always the bitter flower
always the night, always concealed
always fugitive, always caged

always the bitter flower

always near, always fleeing
always waiting, always waiting
always calling to you
always the night deepens
always the night
always fugitive, always near”
