She came to me in ephemeral bursts
poetry, feb 24
She came to me in ephemeral bursts
A beseeching smile, a flaming word
She grew with the moon at midnight
And buried her craters into my skin
We melded, we meshed
And all the darkness slipped through
But the Sun could not reach our bones
So she became the moonless night
And the stars did see my lament
She grew too fast, I said
Burnt me with the first nightfall
The impenetrable, ceaseless dark
So I religiously shed
Scrubbed, brushed, peeled
All her remains on my graveyard skin
But she and I could not part
She and I bred the same moondust
She and I were but one
