My love is goneacross the sea
beautiful highway
Ocean drawn
My heart is long
circling with bees
lamenting the breeze
Plodding on
I spent all my livelihood learning to swim
I spent all the years of my life losing skin
Losing skin
My wound is closed
a half-hidden seam
an unfinished dream
Turning cold
My soul grows old
a casual burning
erasing my yearning
Long since sold
I spent all the years of my life moving on
I spent all my wonder and joy going wrong
Going wrong
My breath is still
Waiting in vain
for what remains
Nothing will
My death lies down
away from me
A lost memory
Whispering sound
I spent all the years of my life looking in
I cried in my sleep as I sought to begin
To begin
