I still wear your jacket

It’s worn and torn

With missing buttons

Your remnant scent

Was lost some time ago

I want to keep your arms

Close around me

Anything to stay warm

In a dim November kitchen

Still haunted by your voice

Around this uneven table

Five chairs untucked

I’ve moved between them all

I reluctantly accept

The silence of our house

I’m caught in the folds

Of this insistent feeling

Still brimming with love

It tumbles and swirls

But it’s got nowhere to go

My eyes still burning 

Still bright with life

A year crawls by

But I’ve got nowhere to go

This love has nowhere to go…
