What is this sadness that I feel?
What is it that lies so heavy on the tongue,
forms a strange shape in the mouth
behind the teeth,
an albatross
decayed bones in a body still
living
What is this sadness that I feel?
What is it that lives like a lover under the skin
the shadow of a shiver
the memory of a cold touch
a ghost touch of unloved hands
a ghost in a body still living
What is this sadness that I feel?
