Lights

Will I be light again?

I asked if I burned out the current.

You gave no answer.

Have you had enough of the sun?

It is always there, you know.

I don’t know what streaks of light reach you

where you like to go,

if they cut through the blue

like devoted arms seeking you

deep in another world.

I imagine if I reminisce,

my bones could become stone,

polished with sharpened grief, fortified,

my heavy skeleton a tomb you don’t visit.

Do you ever think of me?

And if you do, If I knew

I would want to be

the quiet glow in the street lamps

when the day ends where you like to go,

far away in another world.

Eh, I tried.
