I am perched right here.

it took us such a long time

to sit on this couch.

she is a deft lie

dormant, quietly waiting

for the rain to come

insignia.

you are still a proposal

left dangling loose, often forgotten

you are caught by

a springtime afternoon

and here I am

you are light filtering

through this untidy room

there are remnants of you

in hours I lie awake

reinventing an existence

recapitulating the movements

of shadows

reevaluating it all, again

you are a fiber in this sweater

a flitting smear of red in the bushes

outside of this window,

always outside

and here I am,

here I am

ice melted, a pool

at the bottom of my glass
