art.  


the state of my heart
present


remembering you, 
entails forgetfulness. 
my meals, 
my sleep, 
my life-an untended meadow.

remembering you, 
is breathing.
your name: my mantra
taking you in through my nose, 
holding you...

I only know to let you go 
by calling your name 
out through my mouth.

remembering you, 
costs me myself. 
my meals, 
my sleep, 
my life-an unrepairable meadow.
