A Falcon in Flight 

Am trying, am trying,
Am trying to get by without you---
Without your presence
Without your voice
Your touch
Your breath...

But tell me how do I
Pluck you from my heart? You're in
The arc of a falcon in flight;
The nod of a blade of grass;
The happy games a little girl plays;
And in the helplessness of an old man getting by---

How can I then, pluck you from myself?
How do I stop breathing?
