moth

It’s hard to be separated from someone you love; harder still, to give a voice to intense feelings of isolation and despair. This was written on another one of those lonely, lonely nights...

an icy half moon
curls silver
in my palms tonight


where are you?

my body is so cold
so numb
with loneliness
winter’s darkness
chilling down my spine


please
please light me…


where are you?

i imagine you
with the sun flaming
through your ribs
fiery kisses
in your blood


where are you?

please
please ignite me…


i’d rather blaze like a moth
than freeze into unconsciousness


where are you?

the moon
drips through my fingers
