he found a half moon waiting /
at the bare limb’s edge.

crunched under trampling footsteps. /
Cheap soles speaking lies.

begets Spring’s regret and leaves /
darkness for my love.

glistens winter’s translucence, /
refracting wonder. /

The nip of winter /
a small feral animal /
happy to see you.

Pain is a song /
whose melody is as true /
as its words are inadequate.

My fellow humans do not. /
“Beep,” I say to you.

Before the morning sun, /
we hurl our love into space: /
a rope to pull us along.
