The other night


I saw the half-face

Of the Moon

And thought of you…


Your lovely profile

Haunts

My dreams,


A cameo of

Everything

I want and need…


But in my dream

Your lovely face is

Averted,


Turned away from me

And everything I offer.



Why must it be

I covet solitude and storms

Rain,

with its geography

Of distance?


Deprived of magic

wonder wanes

And perhaps it’s true—


I need a storm

to distract me

from the bane

Of my existence...


And rain,

to hold me in her glassy arms—

cover me with wet kisses.
