as we walk
we feel the loneliness of
two people
with questions to the breeze
that give us only
a hug of a hush
we stroll
our hands begin to
quiver
it is cold you tell me
come i ask you
but you have doubts
about the sea
you have a space
between our union
we have become
two distant boats
sailing in opposite
directions
i like to tell you
goodbye take your luck
somewhere else
but my mouth is like
a pool not giving up
any of its water
then we reach the
destination of our journey
and as expected
you are not with me
i look back and
see your shadow
dissolving in the mist
i hear nothing now
except the beating of
my heart
the thoughts inside my
head
refusing to utter what
their conclusions are
and then i sit on the sand
lay my head on a rock
look at the night stars
without thinking
what happens next
but this i must tell you
i am always at home
with myself
there is always this
comfort that i have not
told you about
even before the glacier
breaks into the escape
of its waters.
