Reported Speech

the third of january saw this;

the moon is a stone in the sky
and the night a stencil of light;
the rain an error of clouds
and the stars a coda of cats;

this day told me...

you are hidden behind your face,
all your words are coded like scripts,
your body is full of lines:
you are paged inside yourself.
