She there
cutting her own hair
in front of the mirror
while I watched it fall
like leaves in autumn.
.
Simple as that
there
I no longer feel the solitude of winters.
The fox cornered the rabbit.
Well,
I shall finally slay
such fluffy thing.
.
Today?
.
What do you mean?
I’m predator,
you prey.
.
You’re right,
I totally agree,
but why can’t we be different?
.
Come again?
.
Why am I the one slain
at the end of this day,
and you…
That moment
between lucidity and a dream
when I find out the source of my stupidity
and
lazy
I let it slip from me
I need five minutes
please
It is all the time I need
We talk in so many different ways that the words feel set aside.
Let them feel it, as long as I am by yours.

I choked when writing
My fingers among spasms
The letters stuck in the brain
(I could not inhale
nor exhale them)
Red eyes afraid
Nails in purple
Skin became pale
Then emptiness and grief
A brief horror
and my inspiration was dead again

“What? But you’re just grabbing a bunch of sand.”
“So?”
“This is no poetry!”
“Not yet, but just wait for the wind to blow.”
She blocked every single ray of light trying to invade her room.
She painted the windows black and covered them too.
She filled the gaps with plaster from dusk until noon.
Then
she started her art, her real paint, with red, yellow, and blue.
She painted it perfectly, the prettiest thing one could do.
But lost in darkness, no one would see it.
Just like her,
just like her.
