today i am silent

today i am silent

today i am silent,

tonight

at day

i am a rock

amidst chaos,

wishes

suffering

desire

blindness

at day

i translate

words into

meaning

at day

i am there

between

their

nights,

which

they do not

understand

at night

i am alone

i howl

with the stars

and I feel

the earth turn

in my blood

at night

i am desire

and

i move

out of

my shadow

i do not suffer

i am not hungry

nor  thirsty

there is

nothing wrong,

not even me.

i am human

that’s all

at night

i translate

meaning

into words
