My father stood against the wall
until my mind forgot his name.
Not by iron, not by hand.
but by every silence left the same.
The mask does not remember faces,
only the shape of what it tore.
Whizia sleeps beneath the ash,
and still it hums, still calls for more.
Forget all that you've known
And don't dare to think about how
Your are now part of my being
So Father, do you feel me now?
