There was nothing in between
There was nothing in between,
out of which a tale was woven
There was a cry
lost on the way, or
a silence, crouched
in some secretive corner
Never heard
Never said
There was a shadow
trembling, with its own fear
Or a delusionary glimpse
flickering far away
That wasn't me
nor you, but
two stars, perhaps
from another galaxy
in the azure mist of
a parting, not known
And just like that
the Earth was made heavenly
there was nothing in between,
out of which a tale was woven…!
