pane

by Angela Thomas

i don't know if he understands quite
what goes on inside of me when he's
next to me. it's been two years since
i've seen him, and yet it seems like

no time has passed. yes. yes. yes.
i want to scream the words a thousand
times. and then i remember the end.
feeling like life was over. hope

had dried up and the well had gone
dry. i poured my heart into his cup
and he drank greedily, spilling out
what he didn't want. walking away.

he admitted it all tonight. closure.
and a window. a crack in a window
that had long since been shuttered
to the elements. to letting anything in.

I leave my storm windows on all summer...and I too marvel at the depth of filling I can do when there is even the smallest cup wanting water. But we do our own drilling now, don't we. Thanks for your write!
