for the moonlight
to fill the emptiness
on her side of the bed
the dent
in the pillow I bought her
still visible ...
it has been three months since
she was sent to the psych ward

across the darkness
lights on the far shore beam
a welcoming warmth
like the friends and lovers
we will meet by reaching out
