Not Enough

Not Enough just about when imagination gives up another empty glass breaks lonely beauty changing all of it not enough just to write my name pretending who I am is here in the twisted ink eager for the thin light that rides between us you gave to me what I wouldn't take still in my familiar place your song rolls in my head the final couplet left for ... don't more than skillful grief the gift unopened is a lifetime at my feet crumpled torn what would have still is somewhere there within it Cathy who are you in the newborn now not enough just to say your name deep in this hollow wound dark white bones pass me by no one calls the time away another language laughs at me from dust begins to split these open eyes
