Antares

This is my world 
of flightless sleep

conjoined harmonies 

and the stale air 
of a room 

wallowing 

in the darkness 
of my youth. 

*

These memories are candles, tapered 
and unlit, stars and yet more stars 

beacons to grasp 
between my fingertips. 

*

I hold you to a promise you gave five years ago. 
I demand you give me an ocean harbour to look upon: 

slow-rolling waves of lapis lazuli, a phosphorescent
midnight glow, a collision of flesh and conversation

and why we could be a tiny flame 
encompassing the eternal.
