I was an owl-eyed dreamer,
surely, I was the moon;
lonely and surrounded by the
dark thick blanket
shivering in the arms of
an oxygen-deprived sky that
didn’t want me

I would be in danger
of falling from my numbing
velvet atmosphere, down
towards the flames that
curled around you
but the sun and the moon
will never have the slight
chance of gracing each other
because they are opposite
