It is late.
The horned moon declines
As I lay my head
Into soft down
That feels
Like soft skin.
And I dream
That in your arms
I am held.
You are gone
Under a sun that
Is never veiled
In clouds.
A light, heat
I could not sustain
And, so I lie,
Here,
Bathed in the cold
Pale glow
Of weakness.
And I wish I could wake up
Wake up to new life,
New love, new you.
