you were spring rain
May 23, 2013
you were spring rain, the
quiet moments of wide open skies
and half open hearts and I
watched your long descent to earth
and how you clung to the concrete
so steadfast and silent.
the entire time you fluttered in the
wind, your eyes half shut, and I
wanted to split the ground before you
landed.
and I wish I could have held you
for just a heartbeat longer
before I lost you in the cascade of
words and time and time and words
before gravity called you away.
