your face once again
mirrored in the quiet stream
lost to drifting waves
You know, ଳjellyfishଳ can't swim or shine on their own, but once they absorb light from around them, they're able to shine for themselves! So maybe...I can, too! If I'm around you, maybe I'll be able to shine, too? -

lost to drifting waves,
the part of me that loved you
eroded at last

eroded at last;
the fingerprints you left here
are not mine to hold
you should know i am a time traveler &
there is no season as achingly temporary as now
but i have promised to return

are not mine to hold—
ermine gazes and fur coats;
I live in barrels.

I live in barrels,
and die in daylight, macabre
lines tracing my days.
I was born to speak all mirth and no matter.

i don't wish to go.
her voice still clings to the walls;
i wait with warm hands.
In a shadow there is the blessing of a shadow.

and the sun comes up again

does the light heal me?
all those cracks in the windows,
prism-shining rain.
like the stars chase the sun

pollyanna girl
stares too long at power lines.
even storms blush pink.
In a shadow there is the blessing of a shadow.

even storms blush pink.
thunder murmurs sweetly, and
lightning beams to blush.

lightning beams to blush;
we sit with knees touching, count
bodies in windows.
In a shadow there is the blessing of a shadow.

colder. night seeps in.
the tv flickers in your teeth,
half-lit, becoming.
In a shadow there is the blessing of a shadow.
