A mere shade I am
Upon the earth
Appeared through the window
To see the walls engaged
In conversation with one another
In their half suppressed emotions.
Something hidden in its tone
To wonder itself finding inside the closed gate
To walk some part of the way
Leaving the other part unwalked
All the foot prints walk before the feet
To walk upon each other
None has acquired enough confidence
To speak the other
The face argues the impossible facts
To finish the words before they begin
Continuously asking one another
To lighten the old place
Its smallness becomes a mystery
In using the reverse feelings in the cruelest manner
Convinced of its missing words
In an unborn earth.
