Tenants

 I rented my house

To some tenants, chosen in series,

Who still live in my memories.

On rent in some other houses

Too, they could have lived

And stayed in those owners’ memories.

No chance for me to re-rent to them,

No chance for them to reenter mine,

With blocked communications

And choked emotions,

Each departs from the world,

Intimacy living in fantasy.
