Day 306

the heartbreak of knowing – 2
–
2.
there was a cricket in my backyard
tonight,
humming like a pleasant alarm clock,
but an alarm nonetheless,
tiny prince of repetition,
a reporter who
pulled at a scroll
that stretched across the horizon,
a faint map of unreachable stars,
to inform me of your recent
marriage
she is amazing,
a kid,
a free spirit
she is amazing
a kid
a free spirit
twice and thrice and
forty times over
and I
reach for the cigarette I’ve
refrained from for months
to provide more light in
this hazy midnight sky
I watch energy drop from my
fingers, small sparks
that end up on the ground
near my toes,
half of my self drops
even lower, far below
the concrete underneath me
and I see half of my heart
fall into the shadows,
dissapating,
like my self,
from your identity,
where I have all but
disappeared
