autumn

we have been walking
between the raindrops
for the whole night
and I could see
your lips turn blue
but haven't done anything
even though
my fingers could
nearly touch yours

all that water
and all that night
made you small and weak
you cracked
and fell into pieces
- now I could see
your eyes following me
from every puddle
and from every
dark and blind window

I have extended
my arm
and allowed water
to gather
inside my palm
it almost felt
like holding your hand
so cold
and so blue
