The Weaver’s song

Time is suspended in the silence of space,
where stars blink millennia
then die into nothingness.
But for me who still holds a lover’s soul
every minute is a lifetime
three hundred fifty-five days of emptiness
Sometimes a day more.
Once in a year
I can kiss my last lover’s lips,
they taste like stardust.
It is less love than
a memory of fondness
but this is the only thing that keeps me
Alive.
The magpies of heaven
are rustling their wings,
building a bridge on the endless sky.
Distance is gaping under my feet
like a deep wound.

I pray for no rain.
