Emphasizing the fact that the rhythms of the Dark Ages cannot be countered by its simplistic approaches, the poet argues that the masses need to be vigilant.
Statues getting wet in the street
Rain, sun, smoke and fire
Unmarried and unworthy, -
Flowers and colors
Time and distance unknown,
Wayfarers and beggars,
Regularly day and night
Although it will come and go
Or street vendors
Not even the gatekeepers
Regularly wet statues.
