The shades of silence

Grief

I imagine an endless field of summer rolling over empty hills,
a white sky chasing its own reflection;
a juniper stands idle, watching a small mouse sleeping in its shade,
and I am left alone.
I imagine the winter's raging snows and rivers;
the world rests its head beneath the dirty pelt of silence,
and I am left alone.
I am spring and fall laying at the blankets edge.
I imagine her cold warmth of flesh beneath me;
her fingers tangle the rusted blade of my hair.
My lips embrace her, I taste the small of her breasts;
she is juniper and rain, a small mouse trembling in the cold,
and I am left alone.
I imagine how it is without her
and it is an endless field of summer,
and it is the winter's raging snows and rivers;
and it is a small mouse sleeping in the shades
of silence.
And at that, I see her smiling.
