FUTURE HIDES

It should not have come early; 
the death, had insulted the terrible suffering. 
Shadows were lengthening. 

I wanted to live 
in infinite nothingness 
of the wrong time. 
Hope was not 
a perforated dimension, 
it was my religion. 

When nobody was there 
truth was walking with me. 
A strange tragedy 
was visible only to me. 

The future hides in my face. 
The terror is too much 
with us. No frown of earth 
defies the questions of past.
