Love Poem: Chair
Dah Dahlusion Avatar
Written by: Dah Dahlusion

Chair

Sunlight swells into buildings
rolls over my feet
gets trapped under my soles
At this moment 
there is nothing more to say

When you rose to leave 
your skirt 
made the sound of a bird 
caught in my hands

In the distance your silhouette 
dark, then gray, then
birds landing on a statue
make the sound of your skirt leaving

Overhead a low jet noise 
I say something
but cannot hear myself
and across the table
your chair, the emptiness
