*** (Only by your side)

***

Only by your side
I know how to be no one
to grow smaller
an eyelash on your cheek
eavesdropping on the restless weakness
of your face

Only by your side
I curl up like in a mouse hole
securely
I can be weak
the dust in your hands
sifting between time

Only by your side
I know how to be naked
to be a seam of warmth motionless
for hours on end through your incarnations
a women a man
in fact it makes no difference

Only by your side
I want to cry myself out
because only you
can give me the final shape
