YOU LOOKED SO SMALL


Early yesterday coming down the stairs
trying not to wake the baby (creaky floors)
I sat and wrote in my notebook
Voices, pictures, records
A list of things I would miss

A moment later you appeared, too
looking so small against the morning sky,
your ankles frail,
the shimmer of your summer dress

What hubris to think all that was missing
was the part of me I couldn’t find,
as if despair ever revealed more than
the limits of our imagination

Then later still, outside,
overwhelmed by the simple fear of loss
we stood in silence
while smoke rose from the factory’s chimney towers
like thin wisps of cloud-like regret

And at midnight, the birdsong
