Warp and Weft – it’s a Shadorma (twice)
warp and weft
beautiful colours
let’s begin
to weave now
it is mostly bright, bright blue
with a hint of pink
lots to do
as the shuttle moves
quick and turn
and again
it’s not a painting this time
it’s a lovely scarf

living here
in the same building
you don’t stop
we don’t talk
torment lurks within my soul
you just don’t see it
sitting here
alone on the stairs
you’re aware
of my gaze
sorrow lies behind these eyes
you just won’t see it
existing
in separate worlds
minds don’t meet
hearts don’t open
but then, behind the façade
I see your sadness
