Why I See You In My Mind Why Poem by Lia Padena

a second clean of everything
just that snow and the bird
and his steam like a spirit coming out of his body
I swirled around him totally invisible
no trace
no sign
what do you want to tell me
with this second simple too simple too simple
and it's getting wetter and colder
on your cheeks
snow and snow and the sky seems much lower
what do you want to tell me
why just go ahead and shut up and shut up
and shut up
what do you want to tell me
why i see you in my mind why
