under the snow grass
dreaming of summer sunlight
under the snow hope
Poetry?
bare branches
bare branches tangle
across the face of the moon
my love is simple
stars above
the stars above do not split the skies
the ocean is one indivisible
tell me then about your fences
reaction
a hot swirl of rage
questioning all decisions
reason approaches
the salt you taste
the salt you taste in my blood
is from the sea
you will never forget it
as I will never forget the depth of the water
when I arrived
when I arrived
you had already left
carrying diamonds
your hair was a different colour, length
your clothes
your face
but the diamonds in your hand
were the same as ever
by the time I reached the top of the hill
your ship was already nearing the horizon
I do not want or need the diamonds
I need only your forgiveness
together
together now let us fall
together now let us fall apart
together now let us fall apart together
Promise (real)
I cannot hope to heal your heart
But I can try to dry your tears
perfection
long before the fire
bare-boned branches against the sky
stars slowly emerge
iron
the iron presses out the wrinkles in my shirt
if only
I think
if only
but then
the iron brushes against my hand
