Dripping in iridescent moonlight, I

Dream of a universe so far  beyond our fingertips

That it’s cruel presence is burned into my eternal

Imagination.

Spastic giggles and kisses dipped in gold,

Dancing upon silver stones,

The earth is our adolescent playground,

Feel it quiver and quake with warning

For we have no ground to hold

Only an ocean in which we surrender;

Into the deep I immerse to

Mourn.

This poem is in dedication to a lost friend. I hope to reconcile with him again.
