But You Are Not Here

How is it that you

Are not here and I

Am always in

This consonance

Of yearning-

How is it that you,

Yorself have the silences

Of tempests formed

Under mendacious

Seasons

But you are not here

But you are not here

And you are far

Enough to catch

Beyond a century

If mistaken

I could hear my skin

Crawl

From the sullenness

Of my skeleton-

I'd dismantle my wrists

If it ment this suffering

Would subside.
