still, you. still you

Poem

I hurl words
like stones into water,
waiting for ripples,
a break in the surface.

but you — still.
a mirror lake,
untouched,
unmoved.

I press closer,
palms on glass,
hoping for cracks,
for something to give.

but still, you —
unyielding.
a silence louder
than every scream.

and still,
it’s you I aim for,
you I return to,
you I keep throwing against,
even when nothing breaks,
even when nothing moves.

still, you.
still you.
