survival

all those poems that I wrote for you
they didn't get their wings yet
but still 
they remain
hopeful
  
and so they are
building castles
out of
misery

and they wander
through the corridors
of mystified
desires

and they seek
another night
behind
the curtain
tree

to survive
just
to survive
this
longing

and
they do
