Verse

I left a little space
beside the empty chair.
The room had other answers;
I waited for this one.

Refrain

Beyond the frame the light belongs to somewhere else.
Let the room keep breathing.
Let the words arrive.
Leave a little space for what is still alive.

Original spoken-word lyric sketch in the The honest caption cycle. The refrain is shared by the ten pieces in this cycle. No audio recording accompanies this piece.
