Moving In


I remember helping you unpack

Your blue bedspread.

My lashes sorrow-soaked,

Above us an awning of azure sky,

Covered in clouds—

Cumulonimbus.

Signal of a storm,

Or a rainbow.

Promise that our parting

Will not last forever.

Declaration of spring,

The season when I will see you again.
