Time of silence

I’m afraid of waking up the light

the darkest side of the night,

the abyss of my pupils,

the lethargic moon in the void

of the wardrobe,

the distorted shadows

the delayed judgment

and your whispering lips in my ears

I fear the awakening of your eyes

under a different sky

oblivious to tragedy
