wind carries your scent
like the world has no bumps
like mountains don’t exist
except the one i built
stacking the words you uttered
those that make a flower bloom
icing on the mountain is your sweat
dripping down the stones i placed
you walk as if a star gave birth to your favorite color
you walk as if you can’t die
you walk as if you’ve been here before
you walk as if the soil needs your touch
you walk as if the ground remembers
that it was you who taught gravity its heaviness
you walk as if roots rise to meet your feet
you walk like time decided
to rest its head against your shoulder
you walk as if walking was invented
the moment you first moved
and everything before was just
waiting
