Among the Fragments

If yesterday's missile had taken your body -
I would have lost the only window
Through which I can breathe in this world.
I would weep... I would search for you everywhere:
Among the ruined concrete, in the fragments of the soul, in the blood.
Not as a ghost, not as a walking corpse -
But as one who will never forgive herself
For not stopping you in time.

I would search for you among the ashes,
When the stars were too far away.

Tell me just one word...
And I will remain even closer.
