I miss you

Fire and Water. Nina Gabriel. October 2006.

I miss you.

The stars I look at during the nights
I haven't heard your words, they
miss you.

Everything about me misses you.
The snap of my fingers,
the book I'm reading,
the papers I have to finish,
they miss you.

My coffee misses you.
So does my pencil. My computer too.

The World Bank as it assails the Arroyo
regime is both a political act
against China and an
expression of how much
I miss you.

The privatization of the power
industry is not just selling government
assets, its also an obvious
manifestation of how much
I miss you.

I miss you, like I miss the
friendship of a star, distant
and unyielding.
