DECLARATION

The heavy minds 
knelt around the 
silence 


stopping their 
grief at 
the gate reservoir

........

in rest 
a muscled heart

ceasing the movements
all sinews stiffening


cold skin 
left memories 

pupils fixed 
and dilated 

time that has 
stopped in the sight 

an unfinished 
query from the mouth 

cannot find 
the breathing place 


..........


do you know 
a kid believing
that i could awaken her 
threw me a confident glance 

bowing my head
i declared 


her 
last leave ....
