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.
