Touching My Shadow

I can't begin to tell you how I feel

about all the people I have loved

who have died.

It is like a great big bottomless chasm

that is airless, where no words exist,

and when I try to find it, reach into it,

it becomes even more airless

and wordless.

It is like trying to reach out 

and touch my shadow.

When You Went Away

What can I say?

I don't know?

We said everything.

And we loved each other.

Because we did.

And then we didn't.

And we said nothing.

Because we didn't.

There is nothing left to say.

But I want to.

It's just that I no longer know how.

With you.

I had a day dream

With you in the main scene,

what do I do with that now?
