Unsevered

The roads we once took lead to paths we used to walk together,

To the moments we carried when were were lighter than feathers.

But the wind took our senses, the love took our sensibilities,

The seconds we wasted on each other turned out to be fallacies.

The seven roaring rivers in our shiny backyard drowned us out.

Now I listen as the waters are planning to take a different route.

The roads we once took lead to paths we used to walk together,

To the hour when our bodies were whole and heads – unsevered.
