The Backdrop
Stand behind the backdrop
I breathe
I search
For something familiar
In vain
I come a long way
To be listened
To be heard
I see the velvet green
So much like the woolen
Chair
On the flight that send me here
Where the sky is forever blue
And trees countless, zigzagging across the lanes
Requesting more
Yet more
From their Mother
To be capable
Of an eventual escape
Winter befalls
Under the fine shadow of pedestal
I see ice
Melting in a latte
Diluting the drink into plain water
I forget.
Forget.
Forget your loneliness.
Forget you silence.
Forget your cowardice.
Forget your criticism.
Forget you were once born.
Forget the breast that milked you.
You will be a new one
Once you go out of that backdrop.
