Poem 20 / Sailor of The Streets

Solitudes are deep
deep
like face of the dead.

How lonely are snails
other than their shells they don't have a companion.

Solitudes are deep, my tiny nest!
And you shine in my darkness
in fire and light you shine
and me I love you so much
that I forget
life
goes on only by devouring the living.
