Heat From Flickering Light

One too many times I fell over you
Once in a shadow I finally grew
And once in a night
I dreamed you were there
I cancelled my flight from going nowhere

I keep my renditions of you on the wall
Where holiday romance is nothing at all
Once in a moment it all comes to you
As soon as you get it you want something new

Partial Eclipse

In the shadow
of a tree I stand
leaning
against the trunk
static in the path
between lightness and
dark
