This is between God and me
¡Come on!
Give me a sign
Just a crackle
Move bushes
Break the china
I know you’re there:
Are you there?
Is your breast a nest
where all the birds we’ve envied were born
A basket perhaps
filled with the bread we cry for.
I'll throw my questions through the air
And pull
until I bring you back.
But you're too old for these games
This world is younger:
it stumbles.
What have I done?
Pushing you into this loneliness
Now it is too late to say I’m sorry.
