Another Shadow At Dawn Standing By The Side Of The Sea

at dawn you are one shadow
against a dying light looking
for warmth because
the sea breeze is cold
because the sound of the
shore is one deadening
silence

you meet another shadow
and it is looking at you
and you do not talk
since the other too is
silent

both shadows decide
to depart and find
another direction where
they do not meet anymore

you thought that this world
is one lonely circle
you thought that this loneliness
runs in a circle

and so the two of you meet
again
and again you make the
kind of departure
silence to silence
death upon death
