At Night in Bed

the clouds cross the moon
and block the light briefly

in the darkness I wonder
if you’ll still be there
beside me when the
light returns,
wonder if, like water,
the dark will cleanse
wonder if the anger will
disappear and
the desire stay
and if your love will
be renewed

the clouds cross the moon
and block the light briefly,

but they pass
and in the light
I see that

nothing has changed
