I still feel safe
Whenever I build things in my view of the unknown
And I responded to the voice of curiosity inside me
I lifted the house clock
To search behind it for the secret of the warmth that fills the wall
And I removed the plastic cover
of the family album
To trace the beginning
of the prominent green branch around each picture
Whenever I invaded the private life of the drawers
Their keys fell in the summer of 98
Like any dialogue built on the edges of the table
And I played with the soap with my nails
And it ran down my hand
Or when it hit my pillow
To put it under my arm when I sleep
I thought about the tragedy of the crochet doll
Which weighs a quarter of a smile a day to passersby
And I looked at the bottom of the cup
To search for the missing half of my face
And I broke my favorite toy to realize the source of its sound
And I searched in my mother's bag to search for the secret of happiness
