A moment
as it was
and as it is;
all that survives
from the words
you never saved;
a moment
of conception
of beauty.
Your hands on the grass
when it rains
and when it stops;
your hands running through a
wall
standing
and demolished;
your fingertips dripping water
before it rains
and before you reach the land.
If it’s memory
a moment’s memory
a moment’s reflection;
if it’s memory
our hands across the world
its body trembling;
if it’s memory
that keeps you close
that brings you back.
A flower
trapped in my palm;
a moment
your hand replaced it;
and again,
you awake me.
