a full moon
between the sarsen stones
of Stonehenge
one silhouette ghosting
across the gravel path
Added:
a thrum of rain
on the old van skylight
in a parking lot
I murmur, the life I dreamed
yet the life I'm living
Added:
flash after flash
of midnight lightning
my dream and I
rippling
in the vodka glass
Added:
words are only air
dissolving as they are said ...
yet my chest tightens
as if I’ve swallowed a rock
lodged beneath my breath
Added:
belief is a bridge
built across surging waters...
yet my shaking hands
cannot find the wooden rail
to the altar in dim light
Added:
emigration eve
the last notes
of Home Sweet Home
fading once more
into this moonless stillness
