a dazzling surrender of redemptive light.

       
          
           
The last time,        
i thought        
i wouldn't notice much          
that the air you breathed            
was tempered with        
 distinct          
surrender            
           
.. and a dazzling            
brightness dimmed,          
i muse,          
as a honoring            
or a bit          
of darkened          
foreshadowing            
           
My reticence—          
(a reserve          
of much too polite)          
forgetting to say          
         
what I knew          
I should have
         
           
but didn't.      
           
This time,          
though            
my redemption          
is now tempered          
in that          
remembered          
surrender            
           
again,          
aching            
with your            
loss,            
more sweet          
than            
bitter            
           
           
as now—          
           
           
           
           
you know.
