Saturn's cries grow ever louder

Saturn's cries grow ever louder.

I cannot contain her, I try, 

and yet, as I try, her sickness

eats up the mushrooms of gardens 

and of days long gone by rivers. 

Who sits in the house unalarmed? 

I do not know why she still cries. 

Perhaps if I just take her out, 

no one will hear the cracking neck, 

perhaps, if I just walk around, 

in this loud land of Saturn's dome. 

Why do these old cries get louder? 

Why do the paintings of fine men 

fall from the walls with just a look? 

I could not give her an answer. 

I could not lend her a response. 

The saucers have burned through fields now,

and Saturn will judge me swiftly.
