For two years I thought I could live
on subtle recognitions...

These tiny cookies are the art from which
I taste another side of you, never crossed...

Please let the golden sky bloom again.
Wasn't it just floating above my dreams...

I let liquid sorrow drown my heartbeat
as my knees drop on the numb rooftop...

-0-
Your marble lips...

So tell me, do I wallow?
Do I indulge the darkness...

You’re full of
emptiness; how someone...

I glance back at the stoic siding and windy shafts
with reminiscence of healthier schedules...

The things they swept beneath their beds
were not dust, no, they weren't some kind...

I.
You are an escaped soul...

Love will protect its own, but maybe
I am not yet its daughter. For I dedicate...

I wanted to cry, summon the emotions to cascade
down my cheeks and sink into the dry soil...
