Too Far Away
November 10, 1991

the window in my bedroom's shattered
I suppose I should not have thrown my memories through it
maybe there is nothing worse than an anger unchecked
but anger knows so many reasons
after all
loosing your loved is a terrible thing
beyond simple misplacement
when you face the face
finally,
that they are vapor
you will never talk with them again...

yes
I had my reasons

my bedroom's getting colder
as the wind blows at my curtain
toying with motion akin to life
rain smattering everything
darkening the curtain's fabric
slap, slap, against the wall it blows
painting little pictures
life scenes I never noticed before
an image of you, silent in a corner
sitting by yourself
shutting out the rest of the world
maybe this is what I saw in you
singularity, or reflections of myself

I will clean up the glass I am sure
but for now I can't look upon it
reflecting my face
so I leave it -
odd how reflections of myself
submerge the memory
of your voice I'll never hear again
only see your form
if I happen to pass by your wake
such a terrible joke
a wake for you who used to smile quietly
at death, but your form has nothing of you
who'd tell me to laugh and move fucking on
you'd have smiled at your own grave side
given the chance

I walk over to the window
crunch of glass painless underfoot
cast my eyes across your moorland
track clouds scudding across mottled sky
blur of the rain joining blur of my eyes
I know what you would say
isolation is temporary
pick up the glass

I understand, I think, your silence
that recovery is more than time
that swearing was only language
and like the glass I'm cleaning
