Post tenebras lux
Delicious seclusion lying beside the lighthouse
eye-swimming in crusted compass of the seas,
talking about the weather until Idaho vowels closed my mouth
Marlboro lips curled semaphore smoke
and me and my heart, we just knew
Tightrope of lips
taut between our loyal space
and wall cracks where only rain survives

Author's Note
A final/fatal message "I miss you terribly" and then, thanks to her beautiful children, an opportunity to whisper my goodbyes. 45 minutes later, she was dead.
No pity party or absolution here. Never will "unconditional" appear in my dictionary again.This I know. The ghosts have given me so much ammunition, quadruple-barrelled on faith, never will another sunset become an unforgiven & endless night.
