Sewer Talk

you and me
we used to talk
like a river underground
the sewer
where we used to talk
the hole at the end
empties out to the pier
where paperboats
disappear
me
i try to send this note
float it like a paperboat
but paper sinks
and words
are weak
i try
but i dont speak
join together
in the silent snow
turn our faces up
to see
not endless night
but day
a pier
and you and me
talking
