dissolution, II

i hang between
our hearts a bald-faced
moon

of silence
and of stars

to balm the scalding
blankness of your
unprescence.

i am and only am
the Stasis to your trampling
stars;

in the wake of your petaling, plaster.

love, having loosed
every white-faced saint into
the sea,

crumples at the shoreline,
gathering starlight to pool
in the hem of her dress.
