impossible

he stares out the window

at a memory of a tree

cut down years before

he regained faith

i’m impossible

his words leave fog

on the cold glass he faces

she crosses an ocean

places her hands

one on each shoulder

presses herself

into his back

resting her cheek

against his shoulder

i know baby

softly as though the words

would lift themselves to his ears

she traces the outline

of a bird in the mist

then i will love you

impossibly
