a smell will be just a smell.
not the flesh of an epiphany.
nor the start of eulogies. of tributes to a lover's hair.
not rocks gathered in the throat of a grieving man.
just a smell.
songs will look faint.
& there would be no one
to tell us why gloomy symphonies
remind us of indigo skies.
dried leaves would just be dried leaves.
not a metaphor for withered love
nor broken hearts left to fallow.
just dried leaves.
& how would i be able to say
why i see clouds & miss a grandmother
i never met? the sea would just be the sea.
not an endless bank of sonnets. not evidence
that some kisses can last a lifetime.
just the sea.
lonely. endless. blue.
