nephele

Sometimes - my head is a ton of little clouds 

Exploding - each movement a struggle to breathe

This is when I remember you most - my hazel 

Eyed bird of prey and prayer - how strange to 

Sense you even as you hover miles over me 

I hear colorado is nice - new mexico a gift 

Of old dreams - it all made no sense how one 

Moment I was in your arms and the next miles

And a life away - I have not heard any good of Alabama 

Not for one like me but perhaps for you and what am

I now but another state left behind - still there are moments 

When my head explodes into tiny clouds and I have nothing 

But tears left in me
