Imagining Your Kiss
Heated only by stars—
Another night without you.
It bites out my very veins,
This shudder from some animal
That made its house-home in my soul
Now since you’re gone.
I won’t play too hard with my dark side,
Though they say now I must.
I’m remembering you instead—our dreams in stardust,
In the light or night of day.
Are you getting the briers I left in your skin?
Stuck to you, I know I hurt you;
But I hope they fit around you like the beginning of wings—
From me.
