A silver mirror

The pen rests between two pages,

the book has alreadly been closed.

He gave me his hand

on my shoulder, and his smile.

His statue was heavy, I noticed, soon.

We sat, down in a basement. Small light.

He has given numbers, and also letters.

I looked in, into his eyes,

and I took a deep breath.

Because, the year had no end,

by my calendar …

I looked, downstairs.

The counter had two pieces of chocolate

and two cup of teas.
