ThePlaceThatHasBeenForgotten

I once drifted to the moon

To tiptoe on the waves.

I buried your invitation under the desert palms,

But you refused to dig.

The sky dripped into the sea that night.

I once extended my hand

And a willow’s tears

Seeped into my skin.

You laughed when I told you

And continued your strides across my belly.

My shadow has stretched beyond the hills

And stands alone

On the purple horizon

Leaning against the sun.

It waits for you

To gallop on its back

To the place that has been forgotten.
