Poem

Since always

He loved naming things …

Other than their names

On the wall of lovers

He used to hang his thirsty letters

And invite it to live his little life with him

He would let it rest from the fatigue of the road

And call for the night to come early

To name it dreams

While it’s just words…

erased by the dawn’s first light

and fade away by midday.
