my tongue
frozen blue

pink carnations bloom
along the garden path

nudging back to its home
a beached sea star

songs to my love
032419, 8:36pm
four years, songs to my love
·
four years and still
each day I feel you go
your soul
walking away from me
·
it was then the earth
stopped turning
without you
there is only night
·
a million million years
I’ll wait far beyond
to be with you again
.
in the darkest nights
I feel our love shining
the two of us
dancing in the stars
.
everywhere our love
.
everywhere our love
little rain sprinkles
my husband
calling to me
.
drifting away
.
drifting away
wisps of smoke —
candle flames
just blown out
.
