the slow dimming of the light /
the bending of the branches /
toward something that cannot
touch me / something that is not
mine to carry / yet they try to
place it on my skin / they call
it a loss / they call it a crime
/ but in the quiet spaces / in
the spaces where the sky meets
the ground / I have known what
it is / to be whole.
