the poetry of forgotten places

the poetry of forgotten places
pregnant pauses & empty spaces
erased faces
something like the corners of my heart
something like the stillness of a wild place
cannot say the course the river will take
not sure what we're lamenting
but I know it's sad
& dark tormenting
today it feels like someone sold my dream
broken, shattered... far-away dream
heavy sighs & strange goodbyes
lustful pangs & foggy eyes
tearstained & confused
regretting I don't know the course
returning to a lyrical source
water runs free, water runs wild
wishing I could speak to it
ashes scattered on the wind
ashes resting on the water
