(close to you)
sitting up in bed,
i sketch the dreams
you keep from me.
the things you refuse
to share.
you know,
you smile
most those moments
when your sleep is deepest.
(furthest from me) there,
beside me.
those moments,
(close to you)
i am
most alone.
In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
