I chose for myself
this course of action.
I have no other
to blame.
All this time I have
remained hidden.
I feel no need
to prove my existence.
Do you remember my face?
Do you remember my name?
You will not find me
in the public square.
You won’t notice me
at the corner table.
Who will tell the stories?
Who will sing the songs?
I have written everything down
and hidden the letter.
It will be my only confession.
You may never read it.
Someone is always watching.
Don’t tell me what you’ve seen.
Don’t tell me what you’ve heard.
Just tell me my name.
