The Sun and Moon
October 4, 2015
Scraggly, piercing branches on two black trees
reaching out for one another
twisted together in a painful embrace,
desperate.
Bound together but leaning apart---
A kind of excrutiating love
Even their shadows embracing in the same desperate way,
a reflection of a life they long to have,
the shadows a giveaway for a deeper wanting.
A wanting that the embracing trees try to hide,
hidden in the glow of the yellow lights
covering them
hiding them
hiding all traces of what they have,
A lonely love.
