Icarus

Exchanging griefs

I can’t help wondering
Was that really you

I want to have it all A full meal with all the flavors Of the single morsel You fed me
I'll take your silence as refusal

I don’t know if you read these things But if you do I’ll take your silence as a

The hangman

There’s a hollow place Where your heart belongs Its vacuous emptiness Drains all compassion Consumes without satiation

The Picinic

The two of them sat face to face by the banks of the narrow stream smoking cigarettes, throwing stone… and dismantling

Sticky pieces

There are so many things I’d like to say to you But when I see your face My mind just goes blank I’m terrified

Greatest moments

In this life We have moments Both good and bad We have them all But the best moments
Little I can do

Little I can do Now that I have injured you I must disgust you
