an ache, a pain


When you are left 
severed              sharp cuts
             no blade
But the lance of words

Blindfolded
Marco.
                                   Polo. 
You never saw me.
I never found you.

When you look through
and through.
And return to yourself
sitting on the floor,
a child in a bucket
who won’t turn off the hose. 
The sun is hitting your face.
A former self
                      Now I'm waiting beside her
with a towel
to hold her close until she is warm again.
