Ghosts (Lest we Forget)

In autumn you left with the evening
Cold hands held
Shivering.
Time runs slow, imagining
Warms arms round me in the rain.
While the sea keeps burying your name
The tide will bare its teeth to you
Sirens call the lonely.
Stars don’t keep their promises and
God couldn’t follow
all this way.
asked him to bring you here again.
But there’s noone in the sky.
There’s noone in the fog.
There is
noone in the sky.
There is
Noone at all.
Today the breezes sent for me.
They brushed my face with kisses.
If I close my eyes would you
be there.
When I open them
Again.
I will
sing your name into the wind
But there’s noone in the sky
Noone in the fog.
Noone in the sky
Noone at all.
