Description

Through a torrent of lyrical fragments, the narrator offers a meditation on gratitude, sin and the fragile glow of redemption. The voice swings between prayer‑like verses and vivid images of a childhood playground, where nine boys toss a ball of fate and one feels forever excluded. This first act sets a tone of restless introspection, as the speaker watches life’s light flicker and seeks to thank even the smallest moments before the inevitable end.

The work unfolds as a series of poetic sketches that blend existential questioning with humor and melancholy, touching on illness, the weight of memory, and the absurdity of waiting for answers. Its language is deliberately fragmented, echoing the way thoughts tumble like a tossed ball across a field, while recurrent motifs of light, death and a silent Pilatus deepen the atmosphere. Listeners are invited to linger in the narrator’s stream of consciousness, sharing a quiet, resonant journey that feels both personal and universally human.
