Dead of Night

My eyes are fixated on the glow

of the moon tonight. The halo

of the night shines immaculately

 

here on this spot where you left

everything. I think about

how she illuminated everything

 

with only a few glory rays borrowed

from the sun, as if she, though late,

 

chiseled your name good on this

stone that marks the spot.

where we used to be. This spot

 

where you left everything

under earth—decayed,

 

like dead stars. I see the light

of the moon, full bloomed daisy so

immaculate. I left, believing

 

these stifled whispers.
