light swallowed

to go on

on to go

one must realize

one isn’t one

but many together and tied

trying to do the best

for the them

in themselves

*

darkness is

the loneliness

of others

projected

and light is

the projection

of love

*

what does it say

when an old lover

who has seen you unraveled

and newly born

in front of her

looking for a name

that is held on a tongue

in a language you learn

to mimic

with purple being a favourite colour

and liking sushi on thursdays

and when she lost her father

to age she was losing against too

doesn’t recognize you

anymore

*

i tried to save

night for you

but you wanted warmth

and light

and the speed of it all

when it was it all

us taking it slowly

bit by bite

by bye

it is late

i must go home

night calls
