I now know 
that we are
two celestial orbs 
nothing more than 
cold lonely rock 
that move in 
some orbit swinging 
farther away and 
closer to and
if not that
then we are 
tides influenced by 
them washing ashore 
and then retreating 
and if not 
either of those 
then I know 
not what we
are for what 
we are has
never been seen 
by human eye 
maybe by angels 

And then you 
turned like leaf
knowing its fall
time to go 
and I being 
that your tree
knows the same 
but this this
never gets easier 
this is when 
and never later 
I miss you 
most for the 
you I see
is already gone 

The path
your path
will get 
you eventually 
when you 
veer it
too veers
when you 
diverge it 
waits patiently 
and presents 
itself again 
you can 
fight you
can run 
you can 
deny but 
rest assured 
you will 
be what
you were
meant to 
be if
not in
this lifetime 
then another 

One cup per 
two people laying 
and the rest 
out there somewhere 
all I know 
is now this 
and nothing more 
it’s as if
you remove despite 
having never moved 
all the things 
that I have 
thought were important 

And just 
as the 
moon breaks
the eave
it comes 
this glow
a halo
starting atop 
your head 
and washing 
ever lower
ever slower 
until at
last it
disappears and 
returns you 
to darkness 
and my
warm imagination
