the titular


I think you cried
there, in the house of sunpale shadows
dressed in clothes of affection
then, when the dust
no longer was made of silver

and they called you

the one who never laughed
for the silence in you beatings
when you barehanded threw yourself against the walls

and they called you

the one who tried out skins
when you stretched and tore
in my flesh
to make it suite you
and out of the cracks I poured unnoticed

masks comes to mind here, the skins we tear, but they are needed in times when the world is too heavy, a good poem.

thats good that you poured out... but I hear and see you loud and clearly ... and for the most of the time not with my eyes and ears...

A powerful poem! A strong poem!
And, in a way, a so very sad poem.
Beautifully written!!
