In your cold absence,
I have forgotten what
the word warmth meant
Perhaps you were
the word warmth
But now, you are
the word silence
I talk to you,
but you do not talk back
I have forgotten what
the word warmth meant
Perhaps you were
the word warmth
But now, you are
the word silence
I talk to you,
but you do not talk back
Ode to River Phoenix. This poem is inspired by the campfire scene from My Own Private Idaho which was written by River himself.
