In your wistful tired eyes I see the trembling of her shawl as she breathes.

The Pillar

When your house grows too close for you,

When the ceilings lower themselves, crushing you,

There on the porch I shall wait,

Outside your house.

You shall lean against my straightness,

And let night surge over you.

The Pathos of Proximity[1]
