my beloved,
did i not tell you
as i wish
that you must understand
that i am a very
lonely shadow
but i could not have told you
that under the light of the
moon
i am also very lovely...

like a tree with
branches like
hands
birds come for
the night
to sleep and
begin
to build their
nests

on one beautiful
morning....
