The screams in the night

I can see you in the dark
It is autumn now
We stare at each other.

I am the farthest I can be
from home
and from you.

We think these things over
delicate memories that spoil
and mold.

We don't know what we are
anymore
It's gone.

I've touched the night air
and it has sunk into my blood
stream.

It will fester
it will fight
it will stir something dangerous.

From my face
my eyes move
across the sky

Across galaxies
and rice fields
and paths on your arm

Slam heavy on the ground
we are here
away from there.

But I still feel your
aura.
emanating.
from. the. east.
from. the. west.
