the walls around
me melt
and the world blurs
in to some
chaotic spiral

all the things
i should have said
could
have done

the wooden planks that still
stab
remind
me
of the unfinished shoe
rack

of
our home
and herb gardens
and sunday scrambled
eggs and our
children and
dreams
that
life
conspired against






the silence is deathly
out here in
space


but i am deafened


by the sound



of my heart





breaking.















i'm so
so




sorry.

Love After Love by Derek Walcott

The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,

and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you

all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,

the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
