the name of your shadow


the name of your shadow.

when dreams grab all their children and hide
deep underground:
when the words burn in my mouth
I call your name

the wind hisses back:
the river knocks on the glass
of its coffin: my heartbeats
increase intervals
between
their own echo  and your name:
letters splatter over the mirror.

I try to find my face in the shadow,
beyond the glass:
I call your name,
each time louder
