words i only lived

I miss you like the

river misses shoreline as it r

uns away from mouth and into feet

walking where lips denounce



I miss you like the

Panda bear I never won

At the carnival I never went to

When the gate was too low


I miss you like the

Sad sappy poem this is

The sad sappy poems

We neurally write but never send



I miss you like the

Words lost to memory

Floating , detached, there

But always the tip and never soiled




I miss you like the

Sail misses warm wind

My ship sails well enough

But my people are freezing



I miss your startled eyes

I miss your eager ears

I miss your open mouth and mind

your hand covered laughing face

I can only let longing leave a trace
