Every now and then I remember
that I was meant for you—
with my dazzled eyes
and unworn lips,
with my falling heart,
crushing brick and wall.
I was meant for you
in every natural way.
In the sky,
on the trees,
among the stunted and tall grasses;
between the wind and its teeth,
tearing through our pride;
as summer breaks,
as the rain falls,
as December chases every drop away.
Every now and then I recall
that I was meant for you,
as the sun slips through the clouds
into the plants and the soil,
deeper than any sword has gone,
stronger than any pain has been felt.
I know that I was meant for you.
But never
to be with you.
