su amada
By Magdalena
.
today doesn't quite fit
it's fragile and awkward
and might just break
with the weight of her heart
bearing down on its very existence
soon the hours will be gone
he left before they were over
to be with stars and galaxies
forever dreaming, boneless and blind
forgeting to miss her
May: the month that takes
jaws wide and teeth sharp
holding pain and tears in its belly
swallowing light and life
with a rib-cage full of ghosts
when this time slips from her skin
she will find her way back
away from the hovering dusk, his silence
she will no longer drown
in the loss of his breathing
