Here I am alone with you
again on a Friday afternoon
with the sun going down, being drawn down —
whatever you are doing with it, with your
puppetry, your masterful whatever;
What have you done to my heart? Pulled
the shutters on that too in my race
towards others? Today you keep it still,
as if you rested between the beats —
a moment of conversation within the heartbeats
your voice between every beat, saying,
“I love you I love you”;
I am tired. You say “rest. Want nothing, need
no one. The flowers of those you love, hold them
up in your left hand,” you tell me, like a flame,
like a tribute; like a sun that takes the
place of the one setting.
