To Our Memory

We were a river of dreams

Forced to fork

Through a fragile country, divided by fate,

Speaking to ourselves

Past mountaintops of marriage

Still intimate, knowing a shared body

Of water

As we rolled apart

Through the mountains, hills, and fields

Flowing through illicit fragments of our soul

Over unavoidable hazards in the river

These words speak out to you still,

Though you will not hear them,

Communicating over oceans now

Of our one-time union

And how deeply my devotion to it

Is somehow still remembered
