if i were to tell you
everything
bare
twisted branches
against a graying skyif i were to tell you
dreams
thick
with familiar strangers
one of them always youa
few birch leaves
cling yellow to the tree
an empty red mailbox
a
white black-tailed catthe dog coughing
pawing at her mouth
her
enlarged heart
still beatingthis to say
i could not
tell you
everything even
in silence

This is a kind of a solemn poem as I understood it. You really do a great poem.
