A word is but a touch. This poem is the trace of a touch
that vanishes\u2026 and yet lingers in the air.<\/em>

The windowpanes whispered with a scar \u2013
something still whispers in the silence there,
where the saffron, withered into an echo,
rests in an old tome.

This is a flower. The dry twitching of a dream,
that slid down from memory,
like a silver sound from lips.
A name forgotten. The loss \u2013 as if it never were,
only the fragility of old warmth.

A broken stem \u2013 a sign of fading.
Sepia in the heart, a gray dawn.
The page creaks \u2013 not from pain,
but from time, which weathered the voice.

The silk of thoughts rustles \u2013 who is she?
Whose warmth is in those petals?
Whose fingers touched the leaf,
and why is there this void within me?

I remember \u2013 and flee as a shadow.
In the dried flower \u2013 my own shadow.
It whispers: \u201cyou, too, were me\u2026\u201d
\u2026and I no longer know which of us has vanished.

When the last memory turns to dust,
the body disappears in the whisper of decay.
Only the flower remained\u2026 and even that \u2013 not quite:
for even it \u2013
was blown away
by the eternal
wind
from
the tomes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
