A perch for grackles

Picture
I stood barefoot in the snow
And I watched you leave
Tears steaming as they hit the ground
My heart freezing
I raised my arm to wave goodbye
I opened my mouth to say I love you
I tried to scream don't go
But you'd already gone too far to hear me
Too distant to see me


I stayed there until spring
Crocuses sprouting up around me
The ice receding slowly
A bare patch of ground at my base
But I did not thaw
No leaves grew fresh and green upon me
No magic spell to wear off
No kiss to be given or received
A perch for grackles and blue jays
Meant to decompose slowly
To dissipate with time
Forgotten
In your absence
