A Poem by sea lily

i made a promise, once
through verse not my own.
to filter the distress through lines.
but you swing back and forth,
like a pendulum, so i despair.
and i've seen your ghost
come to a rest on my collarbone--
fit gently in the hollowed curve
where you hide.
i see now that she trapped you too
and so, toujours.
