Just then I passed by that place
Just then I was hungry
And just then I met himAs he and I finished eating
And walked on
The place with no roof was wideningThe night with no stars fumbled and pushed its way to our sides
While he and I lay holding hands
In the pitch darkness
Thirty-five roses flowered and withered
