zafusy

As night
earthbound
birthed by a stone
which it floats
sails your love
lifting
swift with its stars
day’s disappearance.

As shore
I drift from
hurrying impossibly
pounding and pounding
bloom your rescues
flames in twigs
anxious to hold
the invisibly living.

As one
gone out
each morning toward someone
who won’t return
enter your leaves
their green
their heart-breaking green
again.
