Moth

No candle 
No flame 

No light of any kind 

No banging on the windowpane 
No glass between us 

No luna 
No death 

No not written by lamplight
No not written on a hot afternoon 

No it is not midnight 
No I cannot blame the full moon  
New Relationship Energy

A matter of magnetism
& heat — the deep breath
that is yearning + vibration —
flutter of the beat beat beat
in your chest & the pull
of one hand towards another
Silver Lining

Isn't there always
the temptation to search?
Of course, & yet
bad news may
be just that
no matter the ability
to scrape the edge
of truth & fact
& find a shimmering
false promise
