I am dancing in a drought
and I’m riding the train with my best friend
and I am becoming so beautiful
ever since I left the city
I didn’t have the heart
to make space in the suitcase
for your present
I think of you in moments of faith
I wonder if you’re ever looking
when it’s most inconvenient
you listen to the rain tapping
on the metal roof of your house
you have fallen in love
without fear or inhibition
making the stars twirl and rotate
behind the silver screen
in your absence
I walked to each tree
and said “I’m really sorry
are you okay”
with the leaves leaving
and the bare shoulders
last night’s water droplets
floating and falling
and becoming
oceans and shipwrecks
knocking on wood
you will choose to toss and turn
away from you
I am breaking and rebuilding
the night and the moon
“we is a memory”
you still love
even if you will never be anyone but yourself
