An enchanting companion that I fondly remember from my time in Malaysia. The calling of the koel (kuyil in Tamil) bird.

“Kuyil”
calls to kin
begging
another’s soul
to reply.

the perfect moment
has passed
and whatever remains
is overlayed with yesteryear longing
i greedily consumed it all
the sea, the sky, the soft salty breeze
the sun was soaked in
the dark sand dug in
but all that remains now
is a fuzzy
static snapshot.
i let go
why must you still not do so?
i let go with so much
what is it for you with nothing
to leave me be…
why is it i cannot close my eyes and be without you
but you have cut me off
and still bind me to your will.
as i stare searching reliving ever without release
you live and leave me
staring ever after you.
is this always to be?
i reach and fall
you need not reach
and have no way to fall.
you care not knowing i can not but care
yet i let it go
i let it all go
so to not let go
of
you…
