I spoke a word,
rocked it between two sides,
but it shattered in the air,
breathless,
like a planet weary
of its own light.
Did I have enough courage?
I watched myself from afar —
or only imagined it?
A shape in motion,
a wisp of steam
on a frozen mirror,
ice beneath a solar eclipse.
But was there someone,
out there,
who could have believed
that everything has meaning —
for anything, for anyone?
But honestly…
the meaning wasn’t here,
it lived in the way
silence shivered.
It wasn’t for you.
Nor for me.
Falling into the void,
breathing deeply,
wrong dose,
low pulse,
anxiety in my veins —
I fell silent too.
And for a moment,
I was the entire Universe
forgetting its own center,
and reliving its birth.
