Forever Harbour

 The arc completes this month this day

 Twenty two years measured at full moons.

The bedroom window that year overlooked

Shiny snow under a streetlight. His arms

left like the forever harbor for me and the

one who was to be ours. No snow this year 

this time only the soft thrum of cold rain 

We sleep through the night dreams scudding

in and out. His arms are the forever harbor

There is no one that is or will be ours. 

I know this on the twenty second day.
