[2330.6] find again, then it will be he,
it will be I, it will be the place, the
silence, the end, the beginning, the
beginning again, how can I say it,
that's all words, I've nothing else,
and not much of that, the words fail,
the voice falters, so be it, I know that
well, I must know that well, it

[2330.6] will be the silence, full of murmurs,
distant cries, the customary silence,
spent listening, spent waiting, waiting
for the voice, the cries abate, like all
cries, that is to say they stop, the
murmurs cease, they give up, the
voice begins again,
it begins to try again, quick now before

here, it's the last words, the true
last, or it's the murmurs, it's going

[2330.7] to be the murmurs, I know that well, no, not even that,
you talk of murmurs, distant cries,
as long as you can talk, you talk of
them before and you talk of them
after, more lies, it will be the silence,
the one that doesn't last, spent listening,
spent waiting, for it to be broken, for

[2330.7] the voice to break it, perhaps there's no
other, I don't know, it's not worth
having, that's all I know, it's not I,
that's all I know, it's not mine,
it's the only one I ever had, that's a
lie, I must have had the other, the one
