I am caught!

I flew into the light, I tried

to drink cold happiness

Too late! My fate is hanging high

By silky threads

- hopeless!

See, I was free to taste the night

and be in blackest velvet

What carried me is torn apart:

A glimmer in dark sunsets!

"Atropos!

Please cut the thread

That's frightening me!

Please set me free."

Caught in this web

there is no hope!

I am caught in a spider's web

From there is no escape

Polyeyed kissed are lying in wait...

And I am thrashing about

Spinning around fluttering

- but: Without wings...

I am dressed in white

and I am like a bride

entangled in its meshes:

dozing in a cocoon.

Oh, be gentle to the sleeping!
