My last day

My last day

I thought, I was mistaken,

completely distracted, as I was.

No one, was standing, there

over There. I was surely mistaken.

All the students left my school

the school in my youth, when I was 12 years.

I knew it most, when the teachers had left.

I was alone, with the guidance after time of education.

In our oldest corridors, I looked and watched

if I saw any movement, a piece of dust or wind.

I could not find, could not see or leave it behind

until the last noise, sound and music had left, my back.
