Transcendental Sonnet #487:
The Morning After My Life
Like awakening from drunkenness
Burnt-out and barren after the fall
Nothing to cling to nor curse nor bless
Nothing it turns out nothing at all
I woke up from nightmares this is worse
O Leben wie bitter Tod bist du
Shriveled and shrunken my universe
It is all over now but for you
Did you know I used to be someone?
A composer some would say the best?
What really is the criterion?
Can I fail my life but pass the test?
A bleak and bitter and broken road
Dunkel ist das Leben ist der Tod
