can I sleep in peace
when Time does not stop for a second
even in sleep?

I am being pursued
by a shadow
that was my playmate
in childhood;
it grew up with me,
it will grow old with me,
it will continue
to pursue me
to the grave.

there is a hell
that keeps me warm
in the frozen wastes of my loneliness.
