We never break as much as the earth
and we only walk where it is still attached.
The story of a tallness that precedes the sky
turns its light on again when the darkness embraces it.
If a mirror is the duplication of our same side,
humanity is the multiplication of the others in it.
But the reflection is brief when an image is missing.
Time is what comes when everyone leaves.
