You came back
stepping on your toes
you couldn't let go
I couldn't make you stop.
And you squeezed this
lovepoem for nobody at all
out of me.
you guide my hands
a line
and another
round your head
and your hair.
leaving no marks at all,
everybody stared at you
everybody wanted to worship you
and you couldn't talk to them.
but you talked me out of
following you.
and I was there
so much sleep
so many pills
I fill the blanks you leave on your way
away. you adress your diary to me
-out of me
you guide my hands
a line
and another
round your head
and your air.
