portraits in time

 

stripped down to my shivers

what did you say?

the balance is calm no one changes

direction to this direction

i am going

allowing the numbness

and pulling out the silence

it is not around the corner

the day is not the same

but it’s monotonous in the same way

placing my life into categories

like a brutal law

leaving my direction behind

i liked her far away

it’s just another riddle with eyes

when i got off the bus and smelled

the neighbor’s busyness

i visited the world and we

met halfway i listened

to the old people living in the halls

between facts emerging from

the mutated corn fields and wheat

sweating out bread making friends

and now crawling out of time

you are the portrait
