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
