The shadows

 

Tell me what do you know of me

A word able to tell only what is here

But the plus of reality

you lose the plus of reality

 

Tell me what do you see about me

A shape crossing the cities

But the plus of reality

you lose the plus of reality

 

And there are all the shadows we bring along us

and you lose all the shadows you carry with if you want

the ones you cannot enclose in what you already saw and told

the ones you cannot enclose in what you already saw and told

 

But now you tell me what do you know of me

maybe you are

able to listen to, to see and to touch

the many stories I carry with and in me

the many stories I carry with and in me

 

And there are all the shadows we bring along us

and you lose all the shadows you carry with if you want

the ones you cannot enclose in what you already saw and told

the ones you cannot enclose in what you already saw and told

 

You do not know anything about me.
