To take your voice in my hands
I pour myself down on the bent leaves of autumn’s noon
and walk back feeling empty pockets.
I keep sitting and sitting alone
Listening to you and thinking how low the sky has come down.
I do not consist of anything and not of you
I like how you make it happen in me.
I know you are thinking between windows and at the ends
Of roads that take you where you are standing now.
I know you go there every day.
I go after you and stand beside where you stood.
I do not know why my hands feel warm like
fresh little mornings over fields.
I know we know of us and you and me.
I know how the day waits on the top of the hill before falling.
When I wake up tomorrow morning, I know this letter will be open and beside me
I will write another
and you will laugh thinking about it.
