West Wind

 
it rushes into my heart
like the wind through your hair
tangling that long mane
as my love is still untaught.


your scent has vanished
in the wild gray sky,
my gaze unmoved by
the love that flees through my chest.


I dream of warm beaches
with your body beside me,
I learned
to fall in love outside myself.


I put an arm around you
and feel the warmth within,
I push my hunger through you
and listen to what stirs.


the wind blowing from inside my heart
strikes the hollow space
with fogged windows where
nothing matters now—more or less.
