I’ve misled you
My skin
Did not split
From the heat
I cut it there
To keep you
To keep your attention
On the page
So I could write
I’ll miss you
Even before
You’d gone

And home is gone
And the smooth
White stones
We walked along
Harmony’s transfigured
To offend and blend into
Darkest blackest shade
As if the light we shared
Were never made

We are betrayed
By the beating
Of our hearts
We are betrayed
By parted lips
And whispered words
We are betrayed
If only we had known
If only we had known
That to birds
Flight
Is also
The bitterness of fleeing

A window
Coffee
Oranges and
Blue china cups
What is so simple
We forget
And yet
Set a wing
Against the finest azure blue
And that is what there is
