lovers’ carvings - Bibio

Lovers' names carved in walls

Overlap, start to merge

Some of them underneath

Maybe they appear in graveyards

Maybe they fade away

Weathered and overgrown

Time has told

Meaningful hidden words

Suddenly appear from the murk

Maybe they’re telling us That the end never was

Never will

The words have gone

But the meaning will never

Disappear from the wall.
