As I watch you leave again,
I begin to measure my history
In lines of old flesh, grown
Solid like the bark of trees.
I draw water from the beaten
Earth, and drain my vials of
Blood into porcelain for tomorrow. Cold
Has seeped into this skin from
Many more tears than these; but
I search and I burn without
Ashes to
Search again.
