India

never knew you

except from

far away

 

never loved you

except from

far away

 

never

except for

in poems and colors

 

and  

...

you know

 

i never wanted to give

you anything more

than what you wanted.

 

tonight i was thinking

if the moon were one

of the eyes of God

 

would it rain every night,

or some nights shine so bright

that even the sleepiest birds

 

couldn't help singing?

i know

you remember.

 

dear india,

just one

question:

 

if you're gone, which you are,

and i'm gone, which i am,

gone like refugees,

 

why do you

keep showing up

in my dreams?
