\nA chair
\na carbon copy of a chair
\nin this instant void of presence
\na mirroring echo
\nyour solitude
\n
\nyou gaze on persons absent, not things
\nyou listen for a whisper in the dark
\na moon sits on a chair
\nyou are watching that reflection
\n
\nin an instant suspended in no time
\nlike a Schrodinger\u00b4s cat
\nyou are vanishing
\n
\n**
\n
\nYour vanishing might be an act of faith
\nwhat then is your awakening to this side
\nwhere things recover their temperatures
\nmolecules, particles and atoms
\ntheir specific weight,
\nyou are petrified in time
\nno wonder you prefer the other side
\n
\n**
\n
\nNo musician has come to awake you
\nno unspoken words of a charm
\nsilence knows how to weave the cobweb
\nof your slumber
\nif you would only let me breathe gently
\non that side of the whisper
\n
\nto tenderly lie by your side<\/p>\n
