we’re a whole season apart
missed sunsets and falling leaves.
next time the trees will be stark
and autumn’s mark
left
into the dark.
I can see fireworks through my little window
big, bright bold
sparks of colour unfold
into the night
Watch as they erupt,
Booming, all consuming.
We are the sky you and I
We illume
Catch us, go on
Try as we subsume.
the season takes hold.
make room,
as the sky unfolds
I am reminded of the line between us
unrelenting; never growing old.
because between us we are missing a whole season
it took you and left me
and us,
to dust.
