(a few nights in the dark,

a crane’s wife)

-

I woke to you

standing in the door

a towel around you.

Your eyes, pearls.

-

sorrow

in your hair

sorrow

in your hands

sorrow

standing undone

sorrow

in your smile

sorrow in the dark

a crane’s wife

alone

-

I could have sworn

you were there

wrapped in a grey towel

your eyes, pearls,

and your body

blooming hurt

-

Sorrow

in your hands

sorrow

in your hair

sorrow

in my name

from your lips

-

Don’t leave me alone, baby
