I forget how much I've swallowed
Until it chokes me -
Surprisingly in beautiful, innocent moments
When I expect to hear your voice -
Instead I hear your gasping
And fall deep into my wondering -
What was in your mind
When I was screaming my goodbye
And you were leaving
On a sailboat across the sea?
I'm still standing on the shore, naive -
Surprised
to feel the wind rush down my throat
When I try to call your name.
After you left
It changed direction
But I’m still facing the same way.
