polluted water in drops
came down on the Hudson
while Jersey trembled in lights
making me recall a man
I once loved, who drowned
in pools of secrets, and
the fear of me while his rain
choked him, but
still, he turned his head
aside from pain
and said, “I can love again,”
although I didn’t hear him
then, but soon
I found out, it wasn’t him
talking, but my own soul
addressing my heart.
