one day
you let go the string that was our connection and I have been gone for a long time now
settled in among the remnants of a landslide
words have rolled down the back of my throat and called out to my heart and tumbled out into the night where they lay
turn't to dust and decay
there is a lightness now to me almost invisible quality
for you were my shadows my outline my grounding you made me feel vivid brought my curves and planes to life
you gave me weight and kept my soul your kite
always flying but securely in your hands
I peer into the thicket of night breathe in great gulps of air try to fill up on the darkness hope you will be waiting one day for me there
dream of your hands reaching out to find me before I
