Analysis of Contemplation
the image of his back
broad and slightly bended
I’d already put
into the frame of future facts
because he would leave
today or tomorrow
I was going to miss him
in a rear view
this has been an anticipating
coming to terms
with a house without eyes
a manifestation
of our ongoing vainly tries
