Moonlight, Mourning

Waking comes accidental.
The light lying on the floor:
moonlight, or early morning,

shadows like incense smoke: 
such strong sweetness lingers, 
then leaves: lived then lost as

dust collects on spiders’ webs,
the mark where memory stops,
a space of absence. And continuance

is the wait for time to bring the thing 
least wished for: grace: forgetfulness.
