100x450 - 23 - this heart is a mighty wall

From this windowsill I can see many things. There is the cafe I took her for Valentine's Day. The food was terrible and we ran through the rain without umbrellas and laughed about our indigestion. There is the little movie theater where we watched French new wave films until she fell asleep; her head built a nest upon my shoulder and I inhaled her shampoo until I felt faint. Afterward I laid her on my bed and if she had turned her back, she would see what I see.

I see the lack of her; I see a mighty wall.
