Nothing More
Why my worn out eyes?
barely have they observed reality
and they blink
they crack
they darken, they don't want to know more.
To what purpose this succession of colors?
The spread out hand for a new face,
the precise answers
and then
the same nothingness
and the room with shadows
without any of those faces,
all reduced to constant
reflections on the mirror.
A feeling of seeing
the spectacle
and turning the lights off.
No one can suddenly drive away
the shadows that dwell deep down;
scraps of so much,
on that which we are
alone
without ourselves.
