Ouroboros
|
Who formed us thus:
that always, despite
our aspirations, we wave
as though departing?
Like one lingering to look,
from a high final hill,
out over the valley he
intends to leave forever,
we spend our lives saying
goodbye.

i said goodbye
when what i meant to say was
just a little, just for now,
just until... find me when.
i was wishing to
run headlong into
an answer easy, a path that
at least looked numbing
at the time.
i was only hearing one language,
just words, not the songs beneath.
trapped in my own version
of the tragic turn.
the deed is done, the bleeding staunched,
and i'm left tense and tender and wondering
how much of you i'll get back.

Every time we meet we're just there to say good bye and every time we talk out last words are good night. We're always saying, "Later." And then it's time to go. Just once, I wish that we only said hello.

jeff_buckley loved rilke
my heart is the shipwreck
i grab onto you as i'm sinking
but you wriggle free of my tugging
to get back to the light, air
you wriggle free of me
like washing yourself clean
from underneath
i see you backlit
floating free
as my heart is
sinking
tugging
drowning
