I sharpen my perception to discern
the echoes of your voice
still reverberating on the walls,
empty after so many years of absence.
Lying in bed, my dreams hover
above my head like birds of prey
hesitant to descend upon their victim
before it is completely motionless.
My drowsy hand has developed
the futile habit of waving them away.
You appear there, hazy, transparent,
your back turned towards me,
your glowing eyes starring at me
through the back of your skull,
green, shearing, cold.
The moonlight spills from the window
encrusting your still figure,
outlining your silence on the floor.
I imagine walking on it to touch you
but it feels like frozen marble.
The birds stick their claws
in my chest, tear my inner organs.
Behind your silhouette they eat at me,
a welcome transmutation of
flesh into another flesh.
You always saw a murderer in me,
I always see sweet Isis in you.
Sleep, a failed attempt at not being,
creeps into me through my toes
numbing the limbs, blurring the vision,
your image turning into a hole of darkness
through a solid, impenetrable vacuum.
Sleep that wakes me with a startling howl.
With my first morning glass of wine
you will again try to convince me
you are not there; I will disbelieve.
Against your will, I will recreate you
from my torn organs, my blinded eyes,
from sounds stuck in dusty corners,
from morning dew gently seeping
though the crack under the door,
from the dreams I dread to reckon,
from the words we had never said.
You will remind me again of
how your thought alone created me
so that someone would be locked
into always perceiving you
and how I dissolved your fragile image.
You saw a murderer in me,
I still do see Isis in you.
