Day 1406, alone 2.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1406.jpg

I live

on an Island

~

but

there is this bridge

to the rest

of the world

~

I sometimes

wonder

if

I really live

on an Island

There

are many islands

I

will never see

~

but

I have been

on one

so

I know

how it feels

Day 1402, and a few windows.

Day's pictures, Poetry

Day 1402.jpg

We dream

of a tower

like it’s

our mind

with

no corners to break

~

your song

~

and

the only way

in

is from

below

a thousand stairs

down

is he the last

going out

or

the first

coming in
