halcyon





so tell it straight
then,
without the false romance of
distance and loss



you were in love
and then you weren’t



you lost each other
found each other again maybe
then waited to see what
would happen



got by for a while on
sex and fear and memories
and then it wasn’t enough



closed your eyes and
when the morning light forced
them open again
ten years had passed



you were both
married to strangers



you were both lost in
the forest



the edges had already
begun to burn
