Salt dissolving in my mouth
Taste of you still hanging there
Like morning rain on window glass
Distorted
Your hands were maps I couldn't read
Geography of want and need
Now I'm walking through the rooms
Where we used to breathe the same air
Salt dissolving
Everything melts eventually
Ice cubes, promises, the way you said my name
Salt dissolving in the wounds we made
Found your earring in the couch
Small silver moon, forgotten
Like words we never said
Salt dissolving on my tongue
Memory tastes like this
Swimming through these empty spaces
Where your laughter used to echo
Now just salt water in my eyes
Salt dissolving
Always dissolving
What remains when everything dissolves?
The glass, the container, the shape of absence
Salt crystals forming at the edges
Where we touched
Salt dissolving
Into something else entirely
Salt dissolving
Like us
