in my mind a beam-balance hangs
all my cares, all weight I place there
a park there
a rivulet
trees and birds
that rivulet as if is an island
they do not appear
anytime, not always
there the milky way seems wobbly
i sit in a coffee shop
the waiter arrives
i drink coffee
and think
did I ever have anyone?
as if there is no yesterday
relentless this task
in my beam-balance
i measure
its weight
in this mind i stay
in that mind i keep
