the wind would say hello
when she would not.
it would blow a breeze
to cool me in the heat wave
that made me see water
on the horizon of the road.
all she ever did
was yell me to a boil
for reasons that never made sense.
not that she would listen.
she said
she wouldn't have it.
but here i am
trying to hug and hold
a person
who is trying to make me let go.
painful to know
these kinds of truths
that i would never wish
another person to learn.
