Acquiesce to Longing
By lupus tenebrae
The way the sea acquiesces so
impresses upon the moon;
not in craters, but hearts
beating and synchronizing, coming to rest
in the hands of someone dear,
someone I once mentionedÂ
in verses, in songs I couldn’t compose
without rhyme, repetition
or metaphors of her.
And her laces of promise, once woven
into my ribcage, clutch at
her surname in safety.

Protect that surname lest the world know what was lost to you - but then she probably knows it too, cheers Wolfie!
