A passing meteor
Holly Loach
Propelling contours, turning limbs of moon
I am
un glimpsed, un seen, un known
He arrives
In vading, In fusing, In habiting
Familiar faces, knowing limbs of own
Are departing
Amber ovums, lunar limbs of day
Smile, politely
An opal bruise, the coffee is brewed
Uninvited
Yet here, heliacal eyes rise
From the east, celeste limbs of time
Are parting
Mutating spheres, eclipsed limbs of dusk
I promise
Your wet lashes will polish the stars
Unravel
And remember what is yours
Lost sobs of lone fragility, feral limbs of his
Are parting
Evolved musings, living limbs of mine
How dare
The moon orbit the curve of his face
I exhale
The stars dance in yours
Old orbs, plugged silver satellites
Have passed.
