I think I hear whispers,
coming from somewhere near by...

Your hands still hurt,
As though with fingers burnt...

How many times have I done this?

I have walked out in the sun. Feeling its breath...

The day is gray, and I am bored.
I close my eyes, and inhale slowly...

There are times when everything
feels like it never changed...
