Literature Text

the sky whispers,
ribbons of crystalline quiet,
same shade as the angel dust
you shivered every time we were
alone.

in the darkness, we were
sorry birds searching for
open dawns. you, the
swan, me, the
raven,
black as night and
just as hopeful.

and there were poems
written in your skin, universes
blooming in your hands; your eyes
were a December sunrise saving me
from any sleep.

I’ve decided that
people are a composition of
all their greatest memories—and you,
you were always the most
beautiful piece of
me.
I miss you

The images in this are quietly beautiful. Birds and dawn and crystalline quiet skies. Also, angel dust is the prettiest phrase. Colloquial terms for drugs are not usually so poetic.
