I Refuse to Lose You

I Refuse to Lose You

I follow you to the street

where best regards

forms a corner wall

with the breeze.

Where my body fights

to enter the overflow of mist

in your cloisters.

Where clouds move inside a space

beyond grief or understanding,

and memory, my scandalous mirror,

always tells a lie.

Filled with longing

I came to you prepared for ghosts

and found whispers.
