TWO EYES

The oil of my lamp burnt out

and I kept vigil. What a night!

There was no star, only a ghost with two

eyes nailed at the edge of my bed

the world has vanished sucked into

the mouth of the dark Abyss

only two eyes exist over the void

two eyes that fill nothingness

only two eyes that lit the darkness

all are asleep, vanish, disappear

only two awakened eyes gaze at me, they don’t

go to sleep: their eyelids will never close
