it’s meant to last
a misty sea
with a horizon indistinct
it’s meant to last
a single white sailboat
destination unknown
if loss overtakes you
this will remain
if loss overwhelms you
such scenes will endure
long after the final glimmer

have you ever had a ninja dog
a dog the color of snow or moonlit sand
who appears and disappears by magic
who’s under the bed one moment
to materialize on the sundeck the next
who defies both space and time
to show up wherever she pleases
that’s the essence of skye
a quintessential ninja dog
(happy birthday, skye)

something has fallen away
inside
something held tight for so long
has given way
and cleaved off
like a large defining chunk from
an iceberg
maybe it’s friendships untended
an abandoned love
or just the part of herself
that used to care
she doesn’t know what exactly
but something feels gone
floating away
from the person she used to be
then
in a waking moment
she realizes
it could be simply
one more delusion
in an ocean of delusions
she no longer needs
to hold dear
