Dostoevsky - Notes from Underground |

Held in a lunar synthesis,
Whispering lunar incantations
Disolve the floors of memory
And all its clear relations,
Its divisions and precisions,
Every street lamp that I pass
Beats like a
fatalistic
drum,
And through the spaces of the dark
Midnight shakes the memory
As a madman shakes a dead geranium.
