on the necessity of longing.

let me tell you about longing.
let me presume that i have something
new to say about it, that this room,
naked, its walls pining for clocks,
has something new to say
about absence. somewhere
the crunch of an apple, fading
sunflowers on a quilt, a window
looking out to a landscape
with a single tree. and you
sitting under it. let go,
said you to me in a dream,
but by the time the wind
carried your voice to me,
i was already walking through
the yawning door, towards
the small, necessary sadnesses
of waking. i wish
i could hold you now,
but that is a line that has
no place in a poem, like the swollen
sheen of the moon tonight,
or the word absence, or you,
or longing. let me tell you about
longing. in a distant country
two lovers are on a bench, and pigeons,
unafraid, are perching beside them.
she places a hand on his knee
and says, say to me
the truest thing you can.
i am closing my eyes now.
you are far away.
