I miss you
and sunlight is coming through the windows
I miss you
in the sunbreaks
in the showers
the ground
the air
is starting to wake from winter
and I...
will we renew our relationship in silence
year after year?
Last spring
I held your hand
I kissed your skin
while you were sleeping
what is renewal now?
what now the meaning
of spring...
Sometimes I catch myself going through the motions
comb hair
brush teeth
hurtle toward downtown on a westbound bus
on automatic pilot
Like working in a factory
it all comes down to motor skills
hand-eye
right hand
left hand
putting the pieces together
stuck at a conveyer belt
