I’ve sobbed for hours, Then for days, Ache blurring lifeless gaze Stolen breaths come incomplete And, too quickly, are replaced. I’ve sobbed from twilight until noon Filling this entire room Watching skin succumb to prune Hair, molasses, ‘round my neck Pirouettes to desperate croon. I’ve sobbed through sunrise and sunset Muddled orange and violet Lighting crests of waves deflect Fading as they intersect. I sob for eras and for lives Until none of them survive, So what light exists beyond the depth Can magnetize and resurrect, And eyes can greet horizon new Reflecting glowing golden hue Desaturating retrospect As currents sway to sovereign tune.
