LIVING IN NO LIGHT

Sometimes, there are afternoons

in the couch at the living room

when you will be suddenly awakened.

Isn't  the noise of the vehicles

passing by the street 

that disturbs you from being asleep?

Or the sharp chirping of the birds

that freely flying and chasing each other

in the steady cable of wires outside.

Or maybe the presence of silence

that keeps on resonating on mind

because it knows: you're alone in the house.

And you won't fall to sleep again.

Likewise, there are nights

when you are in a deep sleep

and will be suddenly awakened.

There are no holes in you're room

that any of the sounds could enter.

There are lots of livings in the dark.

You've already gone through your wide bed 

and won't be stopped until sunrise.

Stillness, like anything else

has two faces.

The pillows and blankets 

that'd memorized your motion in the cot

also hear what you hears.

The echo of silence is too loud.
