night falls

night falls
silence is broken by a wailing red scar in the marble sky
and then
a  mirage, an oasis of compassion  disappearing
on the uncertain horizon line

night falls
silence is broken by the fog that fill fragile hearts
locked in multi-solitudes suburban cells
along these forgotten roads

night falls
silence is broken as broken glass under your feet
and you just want to ask for, but
the fiery dragon of our mad pride
does not let you shout,
help!

night falls
silence is broken
only a thin veil separates us under this gray sky
and yet we cannot see each other
anymore

night falls
silence is broken
we are so small we are so fragile,
sometimes a tiny fragment of truth
is hidden in a closed fist
