whichever path I choose
as a way to get in this burrow
it’s always empty
I have chosen the wrong path
for I always carry a mirror with me
to choose a path to the burrow
I begin to move from afar
begin to get ready
begin to deny all the things that the mirror doesn’t show
I start to pick words and sacrify
the hungry mirror bites my finger
on the way to the burrow I take a detour to my childhood
I put the pencil next to the bed
I crawl through the stone through the blood vessels
but as I get to the burrow
the burrow is empty every time
there is no one left there
