Forgetting You
-------------------------------------------

Don’t dare take the moon- Snatching her for yourself like you’ve done my heart Stuffing her deep into your linty skirt pocket Like nothing more than a burnt penny The space between us laments our absence I am a quivering sparrow in your hands Your fingertips are my sustenance The song in your eyes Fell into mine and rose in fire and revolution I will sing to you in the evening When the pines are most solemn And the foxes most austere I will cling to you as the white sorrow clings to a wet stone The way solitude silhouettes the daisy Unfurl the night- The stars fall like pirouetting fireflies That perish at dawn Their flame dissolving into the blue of day I lost you in the oblivion of a bell The infinite dissipation that resounds within all of us “Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind” The forgetting of you- particle by particle- every moment we held in time- every nuance between us- by John-Paul Cosentino
