- With all the silent surfaces
- a sofa and the windows
- companionship in a teacup
- the simple fare of no response
- to memories, resigned, sustained
- hope that does not contain
- a message written with the wind
- that smoothes the night outside the door
- desire that has not what it wants
- and all the rest
- a desk, a floor, this home
- assumes the details of the shadows
- that diffidence relegates to corners
- weightless presumption
- who wants too much
- or maybe more than it receives
- from all the sleeping beauties
- the geranium, the bookshelf
- this is the topic of imperfection
- loneliness on the other side
- of the canvas
- or there are no colors
- or maybe only blue
- looking out of half an eye
- at all the breathless bodies
- the apple on the table, the telephone
- that give no satisfaction
- no fantasy of smell, of sound
- or music of these mindless moments, love
- measured by submissive heartbeats
- of all the absences that matter
