goes like a ghost
and touches all the way
to the bone
i'm missing all us
with only me to count
halves cannot be wholes
no matter how many pieces i gather
taken like a temperature
please be careful, love
i'll never trivialize what we are
with meaningless motions
last night i was crying
holding your notes
and begging for stars
that shone closer
to shine one more night
i'll bury all my transgressions
in this frozen ground
i'll hold my breath
until you are home.
