Your Bed after Rain by Kazim Ali (Golden Shovel Poem)
I am hopelessly yours, a silent companion, your ghost, If
You were aware of my spectral presence, you and I
Would never be able to look each other in the eye, so Open
And accessible to me, I have carried your weight, felt your every breath My
Body had provided you comfort on the loneliest of nights, my voiceless Mouth
Cannot console you, but Now
At your darkest, I
Ache, wishing I Could
Tell you, and that person-shaped void beside you, it is impossible to Drown
Your sorrows In
That amber bottle, so tightly clutched in your hand, the voices in your head cry out, I feel The
Tremors in your body, tears fall upon me, warm and salty like summer Rain
