If I could speak to you like the
Heather speaks to my bare feet as
I run to reach you, be near you
Avoiding stones the way you avoid me
If I could connect with you like an
Eagle connects with the currents of air
High above the cold mountain
Where your emotions lay breathing
If I could leap into your arms like a
Salmon returning home to the
Place it was born to die
As I die every day without you
If I could see you just one more time
Before I became extinct in your eyes
Flesh dripping into the earth, bones
Crumbling to dust, feeding the worms
The answers to my questions would be
Fulfilled the wise old owl told me
And I would know where I stand
Instead of feeling lost in your web of silk
