Zywa This last night

This last night
is quite common

her death too

little things in the house
only now catch my eye

in the slow meantime
in which I walk in and out

from her bedroom
to the others

who are waiting
it only takes a night

and we are still alive

Zywa Hazy thought [1]

Today a thought occurred to me
that I've had before - once
but I did not finish it then
(I can't figure out the year)

Why it was there again
what exactly it meant then
and where it went
I still don't know

My soul only realizes
that I met it before
She reminded me
that is all

It didn't come any closer
