us, around

for a night (three)
it was a wonderful thing to acknowledge
the beautiful hues of the sky
and be content
with my back to the earth

i feel it were a
mistake
perhaps
to be greedy, and hungry,
for the exploding heat of the stars

like a punishment in my chest
it couldn't be as you were
ringing in my ears
like a lie or two

every life a lesson
i have learned and been learned
we part
not in the rain
but the snow
of april.
