[sanjal sem, da si umrl]

sanjal sem, da si umrl
da bila je prazna soba, srajca
obešalnik in krog mene vedno
več prostora, več tišine

stal sem pri odprtem oknu, gledal
ven, v temô, cele ure, čakal
da morda pokličeš, strah me je bilo
zaspati, strah spustiti veke

štel sem prste, gumbe, štel korake
buljil v noč, v drgetu šepetal sem
in preganjal vse podobe s tabo

sanjal sem, da sanje so umrle
da polziva v globino, sama
prazna, in da tebe več ne bo.
