I walked by the
river this evening.
Alive with waves
and old wounds.

It quickly spread
to the heart,
a swarming coldness
of welling thoughts.

In the time,
a tender passion
sank into my bones.
A child of the way.

It was nothing,
yet it was was everything.
A new spring,
spitting blood.

I closed my eyes,
to see you again.
Glimmering and
scenting all around.

Fluttering with
our first kiss.
As if it was
only yesterday.
