I Know More Than You Think

 

 

Lonliness is..

an entire shade of grey we forget
I wallow through the black and whiteness of
this
and
when I reach the middle matter you lose me
Such a color that it is transparent
See right through the body
Directly into sunlight

You cover your eyes.

Afraid they might burn away.

 

We just keep drinking,
and occasionally blurt out what we mean
I have got the hint, darling.

You are just careening.

 

And you garden.
I know you do

You plant your retreat with the hands I hold
or wish to hold
sometimes
I wish to hold your hands
in mine
but they are so distant
Translucent

 

This is like air

 

and you thought I couldn't write about love

You foolish thing.

 

it is like air

clear-cut and fleeting

yes.

love is like death

 

grey  and

 

obsolete

And we die everyday dont we?

Just to be born again.
