I’m hearing smell
I’m tasting time
I’m chasing pathways

changing lives.

The full moon
bleeds across
the dawn

almond hides
the cyanide
disguised &
masked

locked
from sight.

I’m miles
from land
a crescent
beach

your hand
in mine
the lullaby

of China sea.

I’m hearing smell
I’m tasting time
I’m chasing pathways

never tried.

If I had known
how this would
be: if I had
felt this bitter

wind


I would have
walked a different
road,


a choice
a turn
a corner
far behind,

a corner
far behind.

Have I
become
a hungry
ghost?

A figment
of your
longing.

If I had known
how this would
be: if I had
felt this bitter

wind

I would have
walked a
warmer
road

I would have
kept you
by my side.

I’m miles
from land
a crescent
beach

your hand
in mine
the lullaby

of China sea
that one last
day

you walked
with me
before

this ever after.
