Another Year
The moon had danced too fast
its revelation's heralded end unexpected
Unable to finish the task
she picked up her load and
carried on falling.

A Grain of Night
A long fingered dawn pointed at my bed
a grain of night I found
I measured it, in it was
space enough to fall in and out of
despair and desire. I lifted it
it weighed my burdens
and its load
It kissed me and caressed my brow
then burst leaving me with
respite and anchor.
