In the wordless chamber
  they feared death
  desperately
  thus they clustered to the fruits of the earth
  craving dispersion
  as if to avoid knowing why
  
  in the wordless chamber
  they feared life
  desperately
  thus they proclaimed any given truth
  and swallowed
  as if to justify their fear
  
  he knew that there had been hordes of seers
  before him
  who set out to cure
  though, the sick wished not to part with
  their decease
  as if it made them feel
  alive
  
  in the wordless chamber
  he accepted desperation
  and the unpredictable manifestations
  of hope
