i want you to see the silence
that penetrates lost eyes
spill vacancy to loose earth
i always meant to..
spare the little ones that couldn't hold on
pushed loneliness into cold when
you left me alone in the white
parted lip gasp, whispered longing
i did not find your hands
morning moons i forgot to
take in pale blue light
you looked at me with
intent stare slicing hidden
secret life lie candle box
old thought, my only vice now
as i hold fast, still tremble
quietly, though, beneath new leaf
