Something Blue


For C.F.


Ten Years

I turn
seeing (or thinking
I have) too late.

Gone (was it only
a hitch in my breath?)

Your flesh turned to
leaves (something
adrift on the light)

words a clothesline
strung tight between
two trees (shifting
lightly)

figments of what
I(mis)understood it to be

each time
I turn
a new
(found),
impression
of not
(knowing)
now.
