X

by rainer maria rilke from the windows

it’s because i saw you
leaning out the ultimate
window and i knew
and drank my whole abyss.

showing me your arms
stretched toward night,
you made what was in
me that escaped you escape
me, since, and run. . .

was your one gesture
proof of a goodbye so grand
that it turned me into wind
and dropped me in the river?
