She told me (Day 1050)

And she told me I was

too far away

if only she had known

and she told me she was

afraid to stare at the moon

or you’ll get moonstruck

and I’d always prefer to

be outside those windows

in the salt-misted dark

how one day the fog parted

and even though I tried 

never to look away

don’t look  don’t look

on the coldest nights

she had to go   and she went

you never said goodbye

it’s easy to believe in that

thin light and the doorstep

who waits there now?

where she told me  I was
