he tended to
forget
that (more than
anything)
life
is a condition,
and
things like
hunger, cold
and death
are only
elements of
that condition.
so,
when she came
to him,
giving off a
music that had no sound,
he was
confused,
scared
and more than a
little bit sad.
he
looked at her
and said:
this is
all just a mistake...
a sentimental idea
that does none of us any good.
she
was naked...
he
was sad...
and
the morning
light
coming thru the
window
had nothing more to add.
