11:40 p.m. to 1:10 a.m.
...................................................................

Far
like the span between us
every time I wished
you were here beside me.

White
like the color of the sky
when the dawn breaks
and we both know you couldn't stay.

Quiet
like the pauses in your speech
that would warn me when we have to part
for the day is near and you have to sleep.

Beautiful
like the creases on your face
that tell me it's really you I see
in times I'd have to look at you from a distance.

You are the moon
to my night sky--
a single rock in space,
a satellite,
a disc
of white...

Shine, you lifeless,
faceless moon...

(I long to be with you.)
