Your words devoured everything
Like distance, like the waves on the shore
An assault by the streetlights
And nowhere left to hide

A flower, lance of the earth
With petals falling, eaten away
A green thread of fire
Until the only flower was the falling itself

The unrealized ambitions
The smoldering foam of the river
Running through every imaginable color
Flowing into silent afternoons

How empty I have traveled
Like a jar of air
I sought in vain
For some nameless depth within you

I am nothing but the emptiness
Of vacant nets on empty seas
Consumed by cold, hollow light
In an abandoned city of remembered dreams

I think perhaps you are too young to be so sad.  Joyce
