Different
'...the thorn in sharpened shade
weathers all loneliness.'
-Hart Crane
Branches scratch the sky
blanching the twilight
pale and grey,
the day is dying;
my way is dark and dismal,
the nightjar's distant cry
my only solace
as I wander washed
in reveries of her and wish
with all my heart
it could be different.
