Sunshine on the blues' moon
Welcome, eerie sensation of solitude.
The one always present at night, clocking at sun's setting.
Always passing my street, peeping into my bedroom at twelve.
It's strange, silly. Do you not know you let the moonlight sip through my curtain?
However, before the stars took position, you were wandering.
Ironically, I was wondering. As I, were you, as well?
Before I knew it, I saw you. Droopy. Ragged with insomnia.
Oh companion, dragging yourself with that usual gloom.
Reeking with thoughtfulness. Invitation to converse.
"Say nothing, I know you heard a heart break."
But it is clear as the hours you stay away.
Like the hours of day.
That mine, as evident as mind chaos, is okay.
Relief, if not disbelief. The clouded figure hints a gleam of glitter.
Odd, unusual indeed. Diamonds in litter.
You perch eagerly on my sill, like an owl.
I indulge.
"Who knew wise words do not stop the bleeding?"
I am pierced by the abyss stare that entails detail.
"I thought..."
I think,
"... I thought my heart was cement and lips a trowel.
But she was shuttered from the ceiling to the floor."
A sneer.
"Surprisingly, I searched for rooms and I saw one. It had four walls. Boy, was it forged"
I recall.
"I poked. I knocked. I fucking banged."
In pause, the gaze steadily averts to my bedside.
A bent tool, works of my effort.
Sigh. Head bows, his feet tapping.
I thought to myself, "sole searching." Quiet comical of me.
"However, all was in vain. I knew her source of pain."
We both knew.
It was the night brought on diurnal prey.
Like a knock on a tenant's door three days past December.
I was the flu in twenty-twenty, a day before a concert to remember.
Words to a deaf man. Uninterrupted, all I could say.
Never has sound been so silent.
Her lament still torments.
Pudency truly is vile.
A nod, affectation.
The quarter moon becomes attraction.
Our usual silence erupts.
Clearly, these hours of darkness might have been brightest,
For two melancholic figures.
A twisted sense of satisfaction.
