Still Life With a Spectator

The first creation

The trees have no leaves

so they are silent as a deep wonder

the day is blindfolded

and he doesn't understand anything

when only silence grows around

stone-still days

float above the waters

the air rustles

only when a lost bird

flies to nowhere

a cloud of sand rose after the flight

it floated in the air like a sigh

then he sat down and took the shape of a pyramid full of life

and suffocated absolute silence

when the spectator

appeared in the picture

the silence broke in two forming an imperfection

in which he remained captive

even now after so long

he stands motionless in the same place

does not say anything

and admires his own creation

inspirational
