~ Coiled ~

We sing a similar song

beneath the moon sphere

lonesome with lonely beasts

who mourn in the shades,

the emotional shades of night.

Though you may be

under the sun (for now),

lilacs and luster; warm

with petals in your hair

and absent to the static laughter

in her rose garden -

and moony as me

while I waver near

a flame

too low lit for one.
