Post-parting 'til sunrise
the body tossed
without will
in such times
the mind triggers
a rushing of thoughts
(refusing the calm night)
the common delivery
of a man, discomposed
for a distant woman
bitterness fails to recede
and despite acceptance
despite heavy eyes
I am plagued with pique.
Nothing breaks stillness
but the specks of shining dust
and the late moon
in the sky
