Breach
Vision through a stone eye
The one sited by the side
of a long-while extinguished light
I think, I know him
Candle melts in water
The abstract-figured house by the river
Tree with white flowers
and a sudden call
These sharp thoughts
in such a gusty night
like an ice knife
stabbed deep inside the tree
Vision through a stone eye
The one who will leave
Just before the falling
of a huge dark
Do I really know him?
