/I grieve only and only for the romance, how beautiful it must have been for the earth to be the last thing to see before she died/

my
grief
grows

in me

the air that inhabits
for only a moment
frozen between my fingers.

tomorrow I will be happier

but on the last hours of a dying decade
the grief cuts my skin, silver sharp,
I wish
I could
walk barefoot on broken glass

lonely as a dog in outer space.
