Like snail the voices stick here Under the floor, on the glass, in here They still whisper who were here And them and you
Listen!
As if seeing not hearing the fear That crept like snail and hid here Lives as new as then and hear Them trill like a bell
Listen!
As the skyship sails air here It rings the shell snail ear Melting the seventy-nine year Curl up in this shell
Listen!
The burning lips of gas peel And shrill sounds a siren steel The souls’ searing chorus sings
‘Sail away, sail away Burning whispers of one day Drop where snail trail glisten And listen.’
