i don't write about mornings
that need a description of sunshine
i am never a participant
...
when the clouds repeat their gray
like clones of unlit japanese lanterns
at the arrival of dusk
i feel you
...
you buried your pen
along with your dullness
you preferred to be the keeper of feelings
...

i don't write about mornings
that need a description of sunshine
i am never a participant
of brightness
i am locked in the dark
hatching the right time
trying to make sense of isolation
i don't mind being lonely
loneliness is my creation
where i aim
it fires
that is my message
to this world that turns itself upside down
i say no
damn it
i want to remain upright
