Confession (1)
I confess that
the table
the candlestick
and dishes
know not who
was lost in the darkness.
An author
is full of misguided people.
Have you ever seen
a first class hanging:
fall in love with North Sea
or concluded a blank contract
with border metals?
You said the best player
is a statute
which doesn't rot with the passage of years
and often
I have been sealed
in coral texts
between several shadows,
a bunch of keys and a newspaper.
