something..

is

spinning..

all dark..

eye is

wondering..

this is

not

like before..

where

everything moves

and

nothing does..

this is

new..

like..

like..

falling through..

the sky..

or

the ocean..

like being

the centre

of

a whirlwind..

or

a

whirlpool..

it whirls..

so fast..

cant take in

much..

except..

floating..

in

deep water..

flowing

through

a

dark

live..

tunnel..

with teeth

along

the borders

of

the giant

entrance..

then..

deeper

water..

an island

of light..

snakes..

snakes..

all around..

in the light

eye

sees

father and mother

seated..

eyes shut

smiling

in half-half form..

then..

father..

alone..

opens

the eye..

gets up

and rises..

leaving..

the same form

still seated

behind..

approaches

and bends low..

eye level

hello..

my kid..

father speaks

..

..

ears hear

dear father..

eye sees

dear father..

my world..

has

materialised..

ears hear

father’s happy sigh..

come..

come with father..

and rest

a while..

father..

little hands

gather..

holding onto

just one

loving finger..

father..

eye takes

it

all in..

my father’s

dear face

finally..

who

could

leave..

yet..

i must..

if not

as

me..

only as

this father’s

kid..

my father..

in rags..

somehow

similar..

somehow..

we differ..

for once..

eye feels

all principles

melt away..

of a father..

like this..

i would

gladly

be a copy..

ears hear

voice say..

to eye

that had

vowed

in another world..

never in life

should

one

ever..

be a copy

in look

deed

or word..

this noble

father..

sheer

love..

unconditional..

pure..

innocence

..

who

could leave

..?

only a

fool..

like

me..

..

dear fool

with an

old

promise

to keep…

this dear

dear..

illusion

of my parents..

will last

until..

i close

the eye..

i hear

voice whisper

to poor

eye..

but how

can

i lie

in their arms..

alone..

there is another..

i must bring

along..

oh..father

i must

return..

please..

put me

to sleep..

eye closes shut

finally..

a drop

..

..

drips from

above..

onto

the eye..

shut tight..

with this..

will come

release..

ears hear

father’s words..

the drop..

flows down

the eye..

the face..

just

one tear

for

both

of us..
