The scribe

Another photo ...and another photo and yet another photo
all the same
a dark figure sitting on a chair infront of a desk in a barely lit room
writing
and writing
and writing
.... the photo doesn't tell much about what he's writing
but leaves a lot to imagine

However i can't help but think this writing is somehow related to me
thoughi can't even tell who that person is
not in one single picture do i see his face
or does he turn to me

he's all bent over the desk and writing as if spilling all his insides out
or maybe i'd just like to think so

maybe he's writing a love letter
but that can't be the case
it's too dark
and he's too focused

maybe he's working on his final exams
but there are no books or other papers..only that he's writing on

maybe it's a story
but is it just one page

unless...maybe ... it's a suicide note
the place is dark
i can barely see him
as if fading away
instead of approaching
maybe it's the final chapter of whatever he's writing
maybe it's not

i guess i'll never know
