one of my favorites

[penguinintheroom]

up there

i've watched you

smear my sombre welkin

again and again,

the heavens ebbing

with your ivory kin,

seduce these waves

to a delta's calm

and lay me

in oblivion,

i let go before

to crawl back for more

and now i'm dried up,

she's moved on,

i've locked myself in.

sailing pearl of the sky

gleam for me tonight,

i know i'll breathe again.
