Meadows touch me,
seagulls circled around singing
yet I’m starless,

they are not your arms.

I’ve forgotten
my mother’s maiden
name, wonder about
aimlessly in a daze, one
into nothing
equals infinity,

a tired monologue.

I think about the angels
that accompany you.
When did you say
they’ll let you return?
