A soft breeze with the slippery concrete black
and full of muddy slush,
contrasting with the hoarfrost,
clean and hung on a tunnel
of silent shivering trees
(the ones you said you'd like to be),
and the birds that screamed at the sun
now buried deep down below the ground,
beneath the snow,
I press my shoulder to this wall between us.
I know you are behind me but
I press my shoulder to this wall,
determined not to turn around.
I know I'll see you standing,
still that statue that I molded in my mind
to kiss, so beautiful you'll never move again.
Someplace far away,
at some sad table littered with bad light,
with chipped plates,
in 48 frames from a movie
on the cutting room floor,
you said "True meaning would be dying with you",
and though I wanted to, I did not smile.
But now I will give up on this wall
that we have fought with,
never uncover meaning behind our rich words.
If I could I would make you a raging river,
with angry rapids, supplied with rain,
so you could always meander and forever be able
to run away without contending with myths
wrongly interpreted with pain. A harsh wind.
