lyrics

"A person is a person through other persons."
--Desmond Tutu

I miss your voice. I miss
your sex. Your dull cheeks
your morning breath. You’d lick
my skin you’d bruise it, too.
You were lucid, then,
when I loved you.

What a gift, to be stolen
from: this world of children, graves,
and love. And this dumb rapture
we can’t share: your soul
drops the coat it wears.

If I could touch your ghost,
and hug its skin--a touch
less cold than absence, than wind.

I miss your hands and daily
notes--the brief
logic that love unfolds.
How this blessed curse is ordinary,
how my mind holds
what this world can’t
carry.

I miss your blood, I miss
your ghost: your cold shadow
teasing my home.
But if I’m buried here
next to you, I could blossom,
I could break through.

*

Every day I lose your ghost.
I say its name, I feel it home.
It dances down my mind’s hallways.
Though I touch it, it will not
stay.
