The Shadow of the Stone

at the end of the day
you fall in love with the shadow
of the stone
you want to take it with you
in your mind
it is not the stone
not the one with so much weight
it is the one that fades with darkness
that was too beautiful in the light
in the middle of heat
that captures you
not the one that you can touch with your hands
not the one that hits your head
that makes you bleed...
