Beyond Stanzas

You are my sigh,
My longest one,
The saddest.
I am heavy with it,
Childlike,
Having broken a jar,
Which stored the snack,
I shouldn't have had,
Love.

The jar had frozen memories
Of my many attempts,
Trying to reach out,
Reach you,
Steal you.
My evenings,
They broke.

The sigh pierces through,
Skies and seas,
Salt and sweet.
Smoke, dust and rust.
And light and mist.

Wings, windows,
And other silences,
Waited on watches.

As I sighed.
