first waking at night: i talked too much

at the end of the day
and at my first
waking at night:

i talked too much
and i have not done
enough.

I talked too much
out of a restless mind:
better to sleep,

to let syllables grow
in the world of dream
and deep in my heart

I talked too much
and the words
went up in a cloud

I talked too much
and in the smoke
of language
meaning was lost

I talked too much
in an armour of arrows
and i stumbled
across my longing

where i should breathe
and walk slowly
i spilled my  pain

and in the place of kisses
there is an empty space:
i talked too much.
