l i s t l e s s

when you left

my words went with you

 

i felt them pulling away

like a great tide

 

how i longed to follow

them into the sea

 

how i longed to put an end to

 

them    you    me                 but

 

i see them welling up

like a buoy

 

i see them saving you

as they once did me

 

and i cannot begrudge you this

 

i watch for a time

from the dry shore

 

then turn away

 

turn back to    sand    sand    sand

 

a long shoulder of bone

    I just keep reading this. Turning it over and over, like a hard caramel in my mouth, sucking each morsel.
    Thank you.
