Gabriel

makeshiftly stuck on a crooked pale
placed in the cornfield ´round devil-hill
the wind plays with hair made of leaves
man of straw

insects crawling deep inside his head
his face, protected by the brim of a hat
a silhouette like Christ, nailed to the cross
man of straw
are you alive?

old Gabriel, the lonely one
some people said, he had a soul

he moved, I swear I´m not a paranoid
what can I hear in the early light
wind in the trees or the air he breathes?
man of straw

last time I saw him was all hallows eve
reduced to ashes in the darkest night
they say, old Gabriel left devil-hill
on his own
alive

old Gabriel, I do believe
he learned to walk, he read my thoughts
