Secret History
Cubitum eamus..?
What?
(Would you?
/
Will you?
/
Can you?
/
Should you?
/
Have you already conceived it?
/
Already
played out
the carefully studied response
that took more effort
than was ever planned
to plan
to just
be in
the considered conversation
of the pronouns, carefully studied.
/
An undertaking of more effort
than ever.
A plan to plan,
to just be in the orbit of the conversation
of the pronouns.
/
Quiet now.
/
It’s all the same…
/
Regardless,
in the end,
we all stick our star
to the best possible thing -
the thing that helps us most.
/
The bright light.
/
The darkening sun.
/
The moon.
/
The stars.
//
Ended.
//
Begun.
///
A shadow.
////
A ghost.
/////
A phantom of love.)
What?
Nothing.
Revertere ad somnum…
