Untitled 2 - this time for Jess

 

nailed to the
cross of yet another day,

no end to the embers of your memory,
the burning.

together,
we discovered the heart of the heart of all things,
didn’t need words.

waking, I kiss your lips,
asleep, I hold you,
dreaming, call you back.

the night the moon first threw a shadow across my heart
I shook my fist at god,

amongst the flint and stone of my world,
can’t find your arms.

your love,
stars ripped from the night until only holes remain,
in the night sky now so very far away,
further tomorrow,

your smile escapes my heart like a sigh.
