estrangement

Poetry by Sara Kass Eifler

there is a breach, here
under the trees blooming icicles, growing snow like moss
a place where your heart runs perpendicular to mine
 
in the library of our intertwining
wedged between two silken screens
a firefly, blinking
 
on again: we are reaching
off again: we have come too close
and always the snow around us falling
 
when the snapping of your sibilant heart
bisects the syrup of my sticky skin
 
where I pause in the running
and you, in the sinking
 
where in the scraping, in the dawn
in the sunken white relief
 
I am supple, you are gleaming
and we are both here after all
