Intimacy

I found a little book in the desk in my room.

''365 Inspirations, Love and peace''

This is what I read tonight...

Couldn't be more perfect.

I can be alone,

I know how to be alone.

There is a tacit understanding

between my pencils

and the trees outside;

between the rain

and my luminous hair.

The tea is boiling:

my golden zone,

my pure burning amber.

I can be alone,

I know how to be alone.

By tea-light

I write.
