The days

I cannot count
the days
I walked
your name
beneath
my feet
the silent
graves
of words
fallen
like soldiers.

There were
ugly wounds
and knives
ripping
faces apart,
my watch
calling your name.
My name far
away from you.

I wish I
could
worship
you
in those days,
gone.

Now I die
with you

and I die

without you,
every spring.

Where are you?

I understand
why war
can never
end.

People
slicing the earth
and each other
until

we are all orphans
with bleeding
knives
in our fists,
longing endlessly

for the
unfulfilled
dripping
memories.
