Nomada*
I
Somewhere obscure,
A no man’s land,
Patterns unfold shelter;
Cover from the rain.
Where the line ends, sorrow.
There is something here.
It exists, but is still unclear.
A roaming feeling creeps and spies,
A feeling overcome to regret,
Buried down beneath the skies
As they are now.
II
Should I be?
That is the question.
That is the answer.
I spare none as I slay all,
Angering the ones I know,
Bearing the soiled burden of living.
III
To be is to not be,
As he tried to say before.
The winders leading the winded,
The winded following the winders.
Nous ne sommes pas en vie.**
Nous ne sommes pas en vie.
Nous ne le sera jamais.
We never will be.
We never will be.
*With over 850 species, the genus Nomada is one of the largest genera in the entire family Apidae, and the largest genus of cleptoparasitic "cuckoo bees"; they occur worldwide, and utilize many different types of bees as hosts, primarily the genus Andrena. As parasites, they lack a pollen-carrying scopa, and are often extraordinarily wasp-like in appearance with red, black, yellow colors prevailing, and with smoky (infuscated) wings or wing tips
