This curtain will hang forever
Hundreds of people will fade down
will lose colour
And the curtain will still be hanging here
Will look at us
so small and unimportant
doing our small things every day
nights and days
changing
people passing the curtain
their faces change
their thoughts change
they do more and more
more every day
Try harder and harder
wasting time by trying
not always getting appreciation
of what they are doing
Not interested in appreciation any more
they don’t notice
they have forgotten
about the curtain
hanging
millions of years
millions of stars
My steel curtain
