Midwinter Swimmers
The midwinter swimmers are like stars,
or like some dots of light, through tears
from here, don’t know why,
beautiful, sad at the same time.
Will you be here soon?
Maybe March, with the snowdrops
and the star magnolias, all the brave hearts.
I look for you from the start,
saving up all these things to tell you
and things to ask, because you
are not here at this time,
you’re not here at this time.
