C is for Light

We're alone, but sometimes

alone

together

for a while

Splashing in each other's oceans

salt spray rises

merges with tears fears

just glints and forbidden shards of light

until late ache

then wild sharp burning pain

then final dull numb wait

long wait unending weight

heavy side layered until …

What?

Reflection night time unheld

rinse, repeat, or perhaps it's time

this time
