RIC S. BASTASA

when finally Tiago and Konsay decided to split
they left the house that they once built
by the sea

since then, when time passed
the windows become the eyes of the blind man begging
the doors refused to open to any passerby,
the hinges accumulated rust until they turned to dust
due to extreme coldness and loneliness

the clouds there turned into big black birds
that like the wind simply come and go passing through
the blind dark windows
