|
I cut my pain with the ghost of a knife |
|
In silence |
|
And nothing drained from my veins to the carpet |
|
Drops on the glass, I have nowhere to go today |
|
And the umbrella in miles of dust in the hallway |
|
Reading a book from the shelf (in miles of dust) |
|
From day until night |
|
Pale, glowing candles in a line like angels |
|
I read aloud the words that were whispered in my ear |
|
By the wind that rattles the windowpanes |
|
Words cannot express_ |
|
Nor shudders |
|
A phantom blade in the gathering shade |
|
A breeze in the hallway |
|
Tomorrow it may rain again |
|
I will not leave and |
|
Nothing will be disturbed |
