Shall you not move, deaf and wordless Being blamed because of stillness? Or shall you go ahead, instead, Carrying guilt for every step? Or maybe buzzing all around, a way not found, a place not found. Till a saving killing hand clenches fingers on the sound of the foolish fly it downed. Now it’s over, now you rest, with the bitter taste that lasts when no balance can be asked (and no harmony forecasted) between two different parts, if the first weights twice the last.

The Fly
I’m waiting for you to be happy, Because to make you happier I need you to be happy first. I’m waiting for you to have plenty of time Because when you have just some You don’t have time to plan that time. I’m waiting for you to sing again Not for me but next to me And maybe then for me again. And I’m waiting for flowers. Or paper flowers. Or hand drawn flowers. Or “I cooked the dinner” flowers. Or “I’m not giving you for granted” flowers. I’m waiting for you to come back, Because I’m not there, And nor there are flowers.

Flowers
I’ll cover the walls of my room With useless words With question marks drawn all over the ceiling. I’ll cover with pages my heart Finally silent this fist in my chest Like paper kills rock, We’ll die of my words that are yours. I’ll cover the walls of my room With all the untold But now there’s no room on the walls, Anymore.
