Between

the more i ask
the less you give me
and the less you give me
the less i ask -
until there's nothing
between the first 'm' and the last 'l'.

i wonder what was from the beginning;
there was us or only an empty respiration
between a too tight you and me?

i tried to touch you
but there was just a whirled space
after your echo.

i am enough for myself;
and though -
i still count your steps' shadows
and rebreath the lost silence.
