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.
