forget to eat

this
what happens when i forget to eat
hands
red from longing to find you in paint
you
who not so very long ago said
i
was the only writer you had read

this
what comes when i forget to forget
hands
touching my face like the leaves touch sky
you
just as green just as delicate as
i
hold you just to keep you from speaking
