Lost In Translation
From the spirit to the soul
From the soul to the heart
From the heart to the brain
From the brain to the throat
From the throat to the mouth
From one mouth to the next

An Easter Angel is flying,
It hardly goes to spring.
The matter comes to the strings,

Wipe your eyes that weep!
It rains as in a sleep.
The poem is unwittingly shortened,
The sun is between the scapulas,
