my room
a sanctuary
at the end of the day -
It must have been
a stormy night
when love flew out the window
of my vacant roomlike a feather
from a molting bird.

shattered in the last storm
fragments burnt and charred
when lightning struck, turned

how many steps
to the edge of the world
she wants to know
