As I light your cigarette, I watch how your hands shake along with the lighter flame hidden between their brackets. I can’t image you elsewhere but this winter landscape, with your burgundy scarf and the brown leather jacket. There’ll be only us two if we show just a little patience. Close your eyes to the world to escape its everyday nuisance. Sharing a pillow and everything that is gained in translation, we’ll find a shelter in a forgotten corner of Massachusetts. When we turn off the light, plastic stars will become fluorescent, Watch how they burn for us, illuminating the ceiling’s surface. Let’s turn the clock to the wall and ignore time’s presence, sleep through the alarm and pretend it doesn’t concern us. You came into my life suddenly. I woke up one morning, with my arm wrapped around you, so I kissed your eyelids. To say that I love you would be to say too much too early, let’s just leave it at that, dear, and enjoy the silence.
