Remember the lonely places, the forgotten places
The places you do not even glance at
The places that deserve no interest
The places you don’t realize are there
Remember the insignificant corners, the unmemorable figures
The tiny unimportant things
And remember them well
Because those are where the gods dwell
And those are where they see you
In all your nakedness
Remember the silence, remember where
There is no talk or laughter
Remember where no gossip even bothers
To dwell
And remember it well
Because that is where the earth composes
Poems just for you
stay here, at this hour
The light is bright and nobody stops
Everything moves
Except you
And the universe
In this moment
Stop and stand here in this moment
Here in the night
And there are no eyes that linger
And no mouths that voice
What is or is not
Stop and stand here in the dark
And watch history unfold
In a single bated breath
Stand here where nobody else is
and feel the shivers of your being.
