Under The Milky Way. 💫

XVI - 16

You having turned from me
I dreamed we were
beside a pond between two mountains
The moon throbbed in its socket
Where the spruces thinned
three deer wakened & broke cover
and I heard my name
Not spoken but cried out
so I reached for you
except the sheet was ice
as they had come for me
who, one by one, were likewise
introduced to darkness
And the snow
which has not ceased
began
