My Life

A span of emptiness and nothing else
                  Boundless like the sky
     Not far in the past and for considerable time
      Life was like a garden, roses and eglantine

            This desert has not even a mirage.
     I am like a grain grinded between two parts
                Of stones of sky and earth
         High like a mountain, insurmountable

           Sucked me even of power to think
           Prohibited for me like a hard drink
     The memories of the past may bring solace
  My old album, an escape from life, frozen in time.
