terra aquea
on the far side of the river
where it curves
the water
pushes farther onto the land
and turns
it to mud
I write your name into it
with my foot
limping in half steps
the way wounded animals move
feeling your name
harden in my throat
I gouge the shape of it
into the squelching earth
over and over
until your facelessness
coats
the riverbank
first with my heel
then with a broken stick
and finally on my knees
I draw each syllable
out
with my fingers,
touching them to my lips
every time
it's
finished.
