none

the lightest night was when
i felt you, almost, as i drove home
the moon beams were warm
against the fresh wind and the quiet
under a dark sheet with plastic stars
you sleep next to an empty form that
knows nothing of how scared you are
and how small you were as our bodies
were just a tangle of arms and legs
our faces so close i heard those words
before you even opened your mouth
and i kissed you like i never thought
and i bet no one would ever believe
that we were really that once
just two more of a big kind
that yearn for a morning that isn't
so transparent and mundane
but now i only feel the light night
as i remember that just once you
also were warm and real
and not just
what i think of when the moon and i
drive along the way
you could never go
