Today it is a silence she broods
In a furrowed brow of clouds
And I watch as her tears come held
In a stingy hand of rain

Such borrowed time it seems
As in the spread of gown she sits
Upon the curve of ground and waits
With grey eyes cast down turning
Lips of doubt into the frown of morning
Too early yet to sleep
Too late for her to weep the leaves of oak
Upon a crown of wind

Her patience grows dimly thin
And I find myself in a fidget of trees
Watching the way she moves
Always thinking of you
And how it was your hips swayed when you walked
Back and forth before the streaked panes of glass
Worried about the loss of time or hidden sun
Listening as you would to the howl of wind

My arms do not sweep away her clouds
Nor do my eyes see beyond the edges of her dim
But I tried to once upon a time wrap you
Up in them
And keep you from the cold

But it is the slow way of her
To hold the sky under her palms
Reminding me how it was
You felt under mine
When in another time she stood this way
And spread the silk of sighs
In a low breath of limbs

as, I am sure, she remembers the feel of your hands upon her.

These are hitting so close to home:
