Elizabeth Gillies Boobies

This morning

This morning I can feel your corners at the tips of my fingers,
the thinness of your mouth filtering through my mouth, warm air
your back. I can feel

also
the sun in the window up telling

in each of the echoes left by the silence of midnight.

And your absence from the corridors, bedding, chairs ...


And I can name you, this morning,
absent and serene in the warm wind
September 1 September

foreign and distant
September 1 where

day-no truce fall under

your voice ...

(And what is, after ,
the syllables of your name air fading ...)
