This year spring has hit most insidiously
Or was it you?
I was walking across my neighbourhood’s park
when the Sun tore through the winter’s rags
as if with a thousand swords of light
And then there was silence
because his searing flames engulfed all
and I couldn’t see
I couldn’t hear
I couldn’t smell
I couldn’t taste
anything but
you
And it burned through me
it soared through my body
and my being was created into light
light burning with your absence
You'd think it was summer
the way all my tears evaporate before they form
the way my tongue burns with ecstatic song
all ready to envelop you
all in vain
So close and yet a world away
you smile and sigh,
but in your absence I am blind
and cannot see you
