the room (1/2005)

how would i deliver a
parting statement this time?
if the door is closing
should I slip a note, on a
pretty card, through the narrowing crack
light gains edges
substance
in its shining stubbornly
past closing boundaries
how can i tell you the
whispered refrain
cycling in each breath
without waiting until
all i'm left is the keyhole
i would kneel, and with all this loss
melting into the floor below,
bring my mouth very close
to that tiny aperture
saying...

thank you for this time together
