I was address-free until yesterday,
living in my own universe
between the sky and the earth,
under the same roof as valleys,
mountains, clouds, and trees.
One later day the sky emptied out,
andI suddenly found myself
naileddown to a roofless earth.
There, no one found me anymore.
The partnership with motionlessness
turned out a much better deal...
