the following day, of a room
emptiness i fathomed
the following day grew the chill
the day after the following day in the chair
i dwindled
i became a lake more and more
was it an arrow or a shield demanded
by the distance between you and me
at home this ambiguity
the evening in the balcony
the other side of it should you mention the street
errant
truth reconciled with my daydreams
one by one i tarnished my charms
i came to heel
