About the work
Your slender body partially covered with silk stands there waiting, blocking the moon’s reflection in the lake.
You turn your head and say
"the trees are silent tonight"
I nod, trying hard not to show.
"You are silent tonight"
I nod, trying hard not to show.
"You knew it had to come to this, eventually"
I nod, trying hard not to show.
"Will you wait for me?"
I nod, trying hard not to show.
"Bye."
I turn and walk away.
The chill in my bones makes me wrap my coat tighter around
