Where is the place?
Where is the time?
I know what you’re trying to say,
but I still don’t fully understand your voice.
I know you are calling me,
I know you have so much to say—
please, don’t abandon me now.
You’ve just felt the winter,
you’ve already seen the light.
I remember your coldness,
and your light.
Yes, I can.
You know what everyone is going to say,
you know what everyone is going to see.
I’m knocking on doors,
I’m feeling this space.
Is it possible to ask for this?
I need to feel your space.
I need your presence.
I need your voice.
How am I—
and you’ve already said my name.
Last night,
I discovered who I am.
I am beginning to understand it all.
