Age of the Straw

Silently you went to disappear in blue -
alone or unalone -
I was watching a moth
on the burning lamp in night way 
scrawled flat as death’s signature
on the heap of broken wings,
between space and time
an extra dimension,

the position of a point from void to
center of chaos,
life extracts the measurement,

a smile lost the lips
a vision, eyes –
outside body, the soul scribbles
mist and crumbs of age.
