Take in the night
Tuck it under your wing
Stir the embers
Of those you miss
As the stars prick your memories
And the moon swells
Brimming like an uncaught tear
Up and over
Full of all your longing
It sails clear the web of cloud
The tangled tree
And tops the sky
Take the light
Hold it hot in your palm
It promises something
