Harvest a low hanging moon
Plucked from an alabaster sky
A celestial heart torn asunder
From the blackest loam
Evoke an absence
My stifled essence
Returning ache long sown, I reap
Behind my consciousness
So my gaze rests on yours
To better not invoke
This incompatibility between
Quickened pulse and slacking breath
Slaking thirst, encroaching death
A single fir bending towards me
Back to the crease in the linen sheet
Where I lay and squint
Too wide to wind the world's spring
