Living Inside

1.


I read water in water,

the house is swelling like a sack,


Outside, the tall tree unbolts its mossy smile,

pink flowers show their scarlet tongues

confirming the bed boundaries.



2.


The light will uncover cracks now

as someone writes dark narratives.


A door knitting the rainstorm,

a window scripts shrinking space

for every vanished land.



3.


The brightness spreads like a stain,

a pinpoint affixes me to the wall.


The floor holds your face in its marble veins,

something in us breathes

only when we move away.
