These Nights

Nights 2.png
Seeing Eye to Eye



The arc of a hand
Across a clock face,
Is the same curve
A falling star makes.


I don’t know why
This matters to me

Or why God allows me
To see such things.


But you understand
When I don’t write
The type of things
People want;

My psyche has shadows...
Crannies and scars

And no rainbow--
But black bars.


I’m sorry, Love,
I dampen your eyes
And deepen your pain
With dark surmise;

Sometimes our stars
Don’t align...

It’s hard loving
A man who writes;


And I know it’s not fair
To stay up nights,

Away from you
In a yellow circle
Of light.

It’s hard loving
A man who writes

It is true because only a port can understand another one.
