and bitter that I don’t believe in miracles.

And the window of my chamber fall,

the foliage of the deceased soon to be in the snow.

I’m all in confusion, not concentrated,

make the unfairness of can’t.

What am I up to the fate of the people,

where to go and what finish century?

Die righteous nature,

how bad a person dies.

I leave this here and disappear…

Goodbye, smells and voices

colors and sounds, dear person

brick simple case”.
