Poems
Tigers visit her room
No one will give a name to what we were
I am a hundred years old, she tells herself
Fear is a gadfly
Perhaps if she opens the black door, the shadows will escape
There is an island in the middle of the sea
All words lose their meaning
We have crossed the bridges that lead us to the sea
I do not choose the place were I come from
There is a room with no light
