The Fence

You jumped the fence
How did you do it?
I was always the one who 
Wanted to die

You jumped so high
I can’t see over
I can’t see through
I can’t see you

Did it hurt?
Do you miss me?
Were you scared? 

I jumped fences
Until one sliced my calf open 
But I never jumped as high
As you 

Are you with the baby we lost?
Are you happy?
Or did the fence cut you, too?

You jumped the fence
But it looks like a wall on this side 
A fortress
And I can’t see you. 

I can’t see you at all.
