I Should Like to Speak

[Guest guest]

I should like to speak but I am

Too full of words that choke me

And my hands fail,

I am awkward in the distance

Between you and I,

As if time understood the rain

Inside our bittersweet glass, Absentia

As if we rolled the flavour of fresh bread and ghee

Around our tongues and melted

One last time into earthly bodies

And we waited for a sign

To love again,

To make near

The taste of silence,

The journey to my Lover's heart.
