The ditch


In my room, I am free
not searching for any key.

A word in my heart
speaks of a thousand years.

The winds come looking for me
through the line of light below the door
I did shut it close.

Now no more

Still I am in the same room,
on the same floor under the same roof,
I welcome sands and dusts,
they hit and caress my face
I smelt water, sensed it coming with them,
every single day I chased my shadow
unknowingly, overlooking my self
just as the borrowed breaths
through my inert breathing
ran after me
fleecing the treacherous years
holing my holed body.

But I am out of the chase.

A word in my heart
speaks of a thousand years.
