Screen of Glass


by Pavel Chichikov

Death became small and sat at my desk

Writing my thoughts on a screen of glass

While I watched from a distance quietly

Then as I moved, turned and stretched

It seemed he did not notice me

Or even perceive my solidity

I looked at the screen and saw him write:

It seems there is a presence here

Which I cannot touch and cannot see

I saw the pale one write this thought:

Life became small and sat at my desk

And I watched from a distance quietly
