Shadow dancing

In a room

she sits in her long, blue,

the longest white coat, in silence.

There is no chair,

no table, no counter.

In silence, her arms

and hands are relaxed,

the head slowly goes a bit down.

She does not feel her hairs,

she thinks about the shades of shadow,

she loves, still likes.

She knows, light exists

within the very existence of other,

some other lights.

I listen then,

I listened then,

to a mind.

It is the origin

of my heartbeat

and thus of all of my silent poetry.
