There’s a piece of me
In that sky
Wide open, pale blue
Formations of water molecules
Hanging over you
There’s a piece of my spirit
Suspended there
Trapped between
Everything and nowhere
There’s a piece of you in me
The thing that made me be
Degrading increasingly
By degrees
Waiting for you
To encircle, envelope and encourage
Like I could never do
Like I always wanted to
There’s some peace somewhere on earth
A small patch of turf
Next to your son
Steps from bamboo clanging
And swaying in the sun
There’s a piece of me
Back there
A place painful to gaze into
But I am strong enough to care
I will clean your stone
When I visit you there
