What would be the use in becoming A symbol of walking desolation? Awash in multiple griefs Elaborating on anguish What glows beneath? (Beneath all the pain and anguish) Love that doesn't die (Magma embroidering) "Love," a small word Unable to hold While we stretch at its meaning Now this: What's this new version of love that intrudes Into the peace I thought I had? This love has no recipient But still lies there smoldering Indifferent stars in the night sky Watch me while I churn Still holding this love for you Without a thing to do But try to live In this uninvited liberation Without a home in your life or heart Without a shelter at all Exposed and burning still This unattended fire For no one emanates a wasted warmth on the wind Pushing against the edges Of what it means to give Lost wisdom in sparks that rise and die Even if I never get to see you again I'll know that when we collided We both broke each other open Rose petals were blustering And I'm determined still to hold this open door Even now as it devastates I wake up gasping in the void again Speak sky, blow breaths Exhale to dissipate The always gathering clouds Of yearning memory Of all that we foresaw Laid out before us, unlived Dropped from a height Back into the open ocean, it's all horizon This sky mirroring emptiness Is where I first found you
