Compass Point

A compass point eternity between the silent clouds
so unlike me
so unlike me
they almost broke a moment

unlike me

A blanket spread to warm the sleepless night
so unlike you
so unlike you
the unreflected moondream

unremembered
unlike you

And we could hold the sky its breath
and dive
beneath a flaming wave
of ice and ashen embers
in an open dream no one remembers
how and where we danced
so unembraced
so unlike them
so unlike them
beyond the time awake

and unlike them
