: )

miles away:
i want you and you are not here.i pause
in this garden, breathingthe colourthought is 
before language into still air. even your name
is a pale ghost and,thoough i exhale it again
and again,it will not stay with me.tonight
i make you up,imagineyou,your movements clearer
than the words i have you say you said before.
wherever you are now,insidemy head you fix me
with a look,standinghere while cool late light
dissolves into the earth.i have got your mouth wrong,
but still it smiles.i hold you closer,miles away,
inventing love,untillthe callsof night jars
interupt and turn what was to come,was certain,into memory.the stars are filming us for no one.
