EYES

It seems nothing can provoke
Our inner silence
No sound, no word, nothing
The eyes!
Bring out the eyes!

Nothing else but this unites us
A leaf touching another leaf
So close, so docile
The hands I said!
Bring out the hands!

In our age, love is an opposition
Let us unite to cast two single shadows...
