wild fire
even now it feels odd
writing as if this were
the only way to reach anyone
the only way to be beyond myself
for I've become lost
unable to see the forest of us
for the trees of me
having suffered some wild fire
in a summer I returned
to where I hardly knew you
any more
because I had too much
of myself
there is a reason
after all
to name someone
your better half
