The Barber Shop

A white rose, the barbers towel around your face shining like a beetle clinging to the petals. Clippings scattered on the floor were the days when I loved you so much while the garrulous sculptor of heads cuts away what time had made superfluous. Ah! That unscrupulous hand made you even more beautiful, the curve of your eyebrows more clearly defined and beneath the jade of your eyes, your flowers, your lips half opened. The shop impressed itself on my mind in all its detail and little by little the nothingness which my life would soon become without you came crawling into the scented room. You smiled in the mirror and I crumbled because I had you and would lose you like life classically cut short by a pair of ancient scissors.
