Monologue

One word explains another.

Take "loneliness", it’s a gap

or a stone falling into the void,

even the air hurts and walking

is not enough, sleep dies

but you sleep. Loneliness is to search

for your height, your exact size, in others,

or rather it’s to divide yourself

to form a broad chorus of nothingness.

What horrible loneliness

is in the one who begs for affection

by blemishing tenderness. Let laughter

be laughter and hatred be hatred,

and a man be a man

above all miseries.
