Thanks to you
At dawn
there was a snippet of sky on the pillow
And half the earth spread across closed curtains
Silently,
By night
You eradicated the other half
Entirely
And, like eradicating dust
Or memory
What was left was surreal
And wavered
A horizon viewed through flames
What began shook ferociously
Determined
and unmuddied
By the dust that lies beyond closed curtains
Or the ash beneath the flames
