I Felt Your Shape

I thought I felt your shape but I was wrong

Really all I felt was falsely strong

I held on tight and closed my eyes

It was dumb I had no sense of your sizeIt was dumb to hold so tight

But last night

On the birthday in the kitchen

My grip was loose my eyes were openI felt your shape and heard you breathing

I felt the rise and fall of your chest

I felt your fall

Your winter snows

Your gusty blow

Your lava flow

I felt it all

Your starry night

Your lack of light

With limp arms I can feel most of youI hung around your neck independently

And my loss was overwhelmed

By this new depth I dont think I ever feltBut I dont know

The nights are cold

And I remember warmth

I could have sworn I wasnt alone
