--


there is a piece of you
that wont go away
cuz i wont let it.

i write your name
in my sleep
so i wont forget it.

take away the the air that you displace.
Watch me paint a wall a thousand colors 
every coat i try to trace the way it felt to wear your clothes.
lay underneath your breath.
to wash you.

But There was space
inside our bodies, a hollow trap.
Felt thick and brittle, the leaves of Fall--
a shadowed lung would pull, 
I'd turn and hug the wall.

I hoped in both my hands
up to the ceiling like a prayer.
through the crickets, came a thought
that to this morning makes me cry.
I know you heard it too.

"it can't last forever
this syrup love.
the way i meld 
to only her surrender and give
in."

"No, it can't last forever
this simple truth.
The way he carries me to dream.
A wooden raft soaked up in sun." 
___________

The stars from here still look the same
I Raced the dawn to write your name.
To feel the breath of 21
float down a river soaked in sun
Remember speaking somehow new
I inhale love
and breathe out you.
