startle the surface
of my neon belief
bitter memories
blurred by cosmic sway
hovered over
the dreamless water
dark green jade
cut heavy into me
broke the breakwater
that shielded me
nectar waiting to heal
to sit with me at dusk
preserve the gold
honey on my tongue
and sun still shines
though late and low
settles near, resting hipbone
waiting on moonbeam
to rise, to show
like a film
i will stutter
can’t capture the portrait
i will stargaze
each one etched in my mind
quick nightwings
just a shadow outline
you shimmer in the dark
you swing into my heart
