“I've left blue letters
on the windowsill
for you
since I was a child.

...
to remind you
that we were once lovers

a lifetime ago.”

“You wade
exhausted to the
shore--
where reminders
lap at your flesh
and promise that

it won't always be like this.”

to race the sun,
to sit breathless
above golden clouds
