Verba aliena . 01

nothing is more exactly terrible than
to be alone in the house,with somebody and
with something)
.........................You are gone. ..there is laughter

and despair impersonates a street

i lean from the window,behold ghosts,
......................... ......................... .... ..... a man
hugging a woman in a park. .. Complete.

and slightly(why?or lest we understand)
slightly i am hearing somebody
coming up stairs,carefully
(carefully climbing carpeted flight after
carpeted fight. .. in stillness,climbing
the carpeted stairs of terror)

and continually i am seeing something,

inhaling gently a cigarrette(in a mirror
