lately
the sun
warms my face
strung together
with
cold air
beneath
the stars
which soon
i will not see
for months
.
the last cycle through
i did
not know
to say
goodbye
before
it was
too late
.
missing
their diamond
dust
sprinkled
across
silky seas
of sinking
blue
.
and so
i waited
warmed
each day
by
slanted rays
until
we came around
and the night
stretched down
.
a blanket
cooling
covering
the
ground
.
