She was the light
from whom I stole poetry
for thinking in
simple subjects;
the entirety of living…
I saw less when
I lived more, yet,
hungered
when overflowing
with her words
and
now I am a thin line
toward a long horizon
the essence
of her smile
her heart
creating a stretched version
of who I used
to be…
I can reach between
stars, feel
between moments
as the entirety of
living
through her simple words, her
motionless beauty
encompasses, envelopes
and covers me
with a love
that questions
no one and
allows all.
