To find you in ink spilled countless times on sheets of paper
To find you in a stranger's cologne
To find you in places where sound easily echo
To find you in flowers stepped on
To find you in damp pillow cases
To find you in the push and pull of the waves
To find you in keyholes of broken locks
To find you in the emptiness in the safe
To find you in my violent storms of prayer
To find you in solemn curses
To find you in diary entries
To find you in coffee stains in my journal
To find you lost in translation (her lips never said it quite right)
To find you in cracks on the pavement
To find you in harsh sunlight breaking in my windowsills
To find you in my lamplight at 3am
To find you in beautiful things
To find you in Van Gogh's Starry Starry Night
To find you in somebody else's love letters
To find you in cruel reality
To find you in actual nights, starless
To find you in places that lack comfort
To find you in places filled with familiar warmth
To find you no longer in my shores but at least in the horizon
To find you in your absence
Was rummaging through old pieces from workshop last summer and found this from the exercises. Funny how I predicted our downfall and the aftermath. Wishing I wrote about finding you in the happier things that still would've applied back then instead.
