Rambling sorrow, it tangos and hums.

She prayed beneath the moon

Begotten is the sun above Jupiter—

She said.

Sighing praise desired by Mars

With eyes watching me cry

Into my pillow.

Every night your soul waltzes

Into my room—

And I wonder now, if

Mercury ever noticed.

The way your tone deflected the pain

In reverse and ignorant too—

When you said my name

Against all odds.

I love you here and into eternity

Holding my hand—

Tobacco stained, and

The wrath of humanity held strong in your grip.

But you let me go.

Like sands through the hourglass—

I am dust in the wind.

Unattainable and gone,

Wine turned sour and dry—

In a cup runneth empty and dumped.

We mourn alone, together.
