Tell me

how did it feel?    
when you stood there    
out on the reels    
looking down    
from the building    
    
did night    
lean    
apologetic    
against you?    
 
Sometimes I bleed    
unfinished letters    
my pencil hesitant    
opening into acceptance    
    
revealing how    
    
he must have landed in my heart chamber  
when he jumped from the 14th floor  
I incubated lavender in each splinter  
knowing it is his birthday soon  
and once again I remember  
how his chestnut hair  
would glow in ethereal light  
 
I walk through thin crisp snow  
downwards while my eyes  
seek the outlines  
when I see the sea  
I am returning to that day  
there were no fjords  
 
but sand dunes  
though you are here today  
in the mythical waters  
 
and love is near
