Whistling In The Dark



I woke,
with the sweet, red stains
of your kisses on my face-
and I was empty.

Your words
linger in the pools of melted fog
and rain-rotted leaves...
they bring me no relief-

I am bleary-eyed and sick.
Somehow,
in the darkness,
you crept in...

half phantom, half angel-
while night's tongue lapped
at the corners of your bed
and I slept peacefully.
