statuesque
When we met
You didn't knock me over
I was statuesque
In my love for another
In a night
I knew more about you
than words could have conveyed
I knew more about you
than you knew
In that room
I probed you
And found your indifference to me
I was statuesque
In my love for another
In your bipolar summer
I was happy being unhappy
I was statuesque
In my love for another
Then came the winter
And I pushed at you
Our many facets matched
And we locked
Like antibody
To virus
I wanted to be your vaccine
I was statuesque
In my love for another
My sculptor forsook me
And left me to crumble
In falling
I re-learnt motion
And forgot space and time
I am now fluid
In my love for you
(For Matthew)
