Everything feels like a cold, melancholic afternoon.
Words weigh heavy on my fingers, dragging along,
as if my thoughts were pulling iron horses.
Listen—
I exist only within myself now.
The motion of life does not tempt me;
nothing stirs the wish to be anything else.
I speak from a new territory,
shaped only so that I may fit within it.
To exist is to be here,
between what is written and what is dreamed.
