Not Alone

Today I saw you die.

I was there in your last moments
as you writhed and shook,
and then slowly gave up;
your wings gently coming to rest
peacefully on the window sill.

Even though there was no other moth
present to share your final moment,

you were not alone.

Your colours

Lemon.
Turquoise.
Magenta.

The day begins bright and full of youthful energy.
It moves calmly as time ticks on the wall like the tide.
And night arrives blazing as you ignite me.

IOUS

Glorious.
Notorious.
Gregarious.
Hilarious.
Delirious.
Imperious.
Uproarious.
Victorious.

We are.

For Javier

You have recaptured your innocence
in finding your maturity.

You have recaptured your excitement
in finding your peace.

You have recaptured your fortitude
in finding your stillness.

You have recaptured your heart
in finding your new song.

My love

How lovely is your love, my love.

How delicious your smile.

How exquisite your voice.

We are...

We are the product of our memories,
those in the past and those in the future.

Across this distance

Your anxiety is making me anxious
Your pain is hurting me
Going round this cycle again
of repetitive misunderstandings
when we really just want
the same thing

To hear the voice
of the one we love
across this distance
