When I Am Asleep


When I am asleep,
the universe continues unfolding
as if I were not part of its fabric.

When I am awake,
the universe continues expanding
as if my wakefulness were blind.

When I am simply here,
the universe continues calling
as if I were the only one around.

  1. In this vast indifference,
    Following your shadow
    Leads to an echo of you.

    The further away you move
    The less you become
    And vanish completely.

    Wish for some other
    To escape these doubles,
    And divide by three.
