I look in places dark and unforgiving
In places blue with sadness
And green with envy.
Then I look in places common and loved
In places of giggles
And in places of memories.
To the right are places of imagination
Places of flying
Places of eternal love,
And to the left are places of reality
Places of sidewalk
Places of platonic
Under rocks and behind trees
Over dreams and in front of freedom.
In these places, I look for the words.
