At night airplane
is just another star
in the tail of ursa minor.
Sky is striking
roots
what seems to be tree trunks
meanwhile
these shadows of those passers-by
drop into empty offices.
they fall through
bulletproof windows,
striped window blinds
in people's houses,
libraries,
high schools,
closed cinemas and kindergarten,
while heading home.
and those who have all disbelieved in God –
their shadows pray in churches.
And I’m assured that
mine
protects your sleep
despite me being frighten of
those visions
in this dark.

And I’m assured that

protects your sleep
despite me being frighten of
