It` s silent, finally. I can only hear the needle` s noise through the fabric.It` s calm and soothing like the sound of the sea waves. I have no hostile thoughts, even the bad ones hurt less.Up, down! The needle appears and then disappears. A straight seam flows in my mind, a flat, background seam. The time passes with a different beat, the proper one, not too fast not too slow. Like in a good dream. The needle appears then it disappears, reminding me that it is real and feeding me its simple, undemanding friendship.
The forgotten poetry of silence.

Everything other than love
for the most beautiful God is agony of the spirit,
though it be sugar- eating.
What is agony of the spirit?
To advance toward death
without seizing hold of the Water of Life.

By (the Token of) Time
Lo! man is in a state of loss,
Save those who believe and do good works,
And exhort one another to truth
And exhort one another to endurance.
Qur`an - But Billy never came. He is the soldier at the feet of my new, my brand new statue of love. He holds the rope but never uncovers it. Place my heart under the doormat,Billy before you leave, my heart hang it like a beehive, my orphan need to press you against my chest, to hold you under my jacket and keep you warm. The building blocks of my pain are in the basket behind the door. The tree that made them grows in my shoulders, your leafy face falls there the sweet chlorophyll smile. I want to wipe your face Billy with both my hands and breathe it in. I fold my fear neatly this bleating rug and smoke it . I ` m tired Billy, do not cut my hands!
