for her.

it's midnight and I'm writing love letters  on my skin to the woman who raised me. it's midnight  and every limb has a story. all  
my collarbone remembers is the frantic  hurry of your footsteps when it broke under the weight  of gravity and mistaken desire to fly and my  broken pink umbrella, long-gone, remembers too. my elbows  remember the firm pull of your hands in the grocery  store. my cheeks remember your makeup and  
my clumsy fingers dipping in like paint pots and my neck  remembers all your strands of pearls. I remember  when you were young again and wearing  red and holdi
august, 2009:

in honour of my mother's mother, who has been ill for many years and whose life is (both sadly and in some ways thankfully) coming to a close.

she lived with us through my entire childhood and into my teenage years, and helped raise me. I love her more than I could ever hope to explain, which is always how love goes.

Of leaving pieces.Understand this: that love is a religion  of birds, of restlessness, of flight.  
Of moving somewhere warmer when the cold sets in,  of longing, of leaving, of being  the one left behind, of feathers,  of an empty nest in the heart of winter,  
nestled in some firm elbow of brittle branches  that stopped reaching for the sky when the last  leaf fell, bleak against a landscape of  blacks and whites and greys save for one  little piece of red string,

leaving - nine birds.

leaving.1.  when you're leaving the puddles are all  
oceans.   
2.  you close your eyes tight and you're nine  I'm nine I'm nine I'm making a memory. when  you're leaving  you can hardly stand it and the sky  is never empty enough.   
3.  there are birds.   
4.  when you're leaving  you're asking yourself questions  like do you love that bird and  what does it mean, what does  any of it mean, and if you don't know,  that's why you're leaving.   
5.  (what does it mean.  what does any of it mean?)   
6.  you're leavin leaving.

because you were seaworthy...I fell in love with you because  the streets were empty at night when  it rained, because your voice  echoed in the wings, because  there were oceans in my chest  waiting for you to set your body adrift.  
 
--- because you were seaworthy...
