THE CORRIDOR WITH EYE-SIZED DOORS

I can’t understand how the two of us entered this

corridor with eye-sized doors

I can’t understand

maybe we were just chance tears

that ran into here by chance maybe it’s so

and suddenly here we recalled that we’re human

and there’s no way back for us now there is no way

even if our tears run from here

through the doors it’s here

that we’ll remain

murmuring about us there beyond the walls

leaves of tongues on bodies’ trees

it is the fortunate ones who can only see us

who cannot enter

it is the unfortunate ones who can only see us

who cannot enter
