“…I mount the…
tunnel sunken night in search of you.”
~Li-Young Lee
tunnel sunken night in search of you.”
~Li-Young Lee
The last time, snow
fell from under the El
tracks like glitter,
like sugar, like fire,
or the rain.
fell from under the El
tracks like glitter,
like sugar, like fire,
or the rain.
I raised my
hands parallel to the side-
walk, to the tracks, and when
the flakes came, I knew I could
do nothing to hold you.
