Once,
I built you every winter...
You spoke with a tear in your eye
that wouldn’t fall...
Like over-aged children,
we opened pot after pot of paint...
Every time you see
me...
When I went
deep, deep into the water...
You know,
in your eyes...
The footprints we made on the beach:
Hope you remember them too...
Have you ever hoped
The dead could come back to life...
You smiled and told me you've found the joys of...
As you walked on - gracefully...
You told me of your dreams, always in black and...
Distant, with faded outlines, finally turning to...
Streams after streams of silk, you knitted -
Like a solemn harpist...
Dead, motionless – there she was:
the wingless dove...
