romance me dear sky
tell me you love me
and tell me why
you’re busy
i know
hiding a new moon
and planets aligning
but if you have time
romance me a little
with stories
of how it will be
and what seems to be past
paint it in pastels
they’re just like you
the ice cream is melting
nothing lasts
time is changing
it’s why i love you
but not quite
with the trans of your twilight
not day
and not night
and how you turn me
to silhouette
with everything i was
shadowing what i’m not quite
deepened yet simplified
rosied and glowing
oh my beloved sky
fading and knowing
xx

Tomorrow - or tonight - or last night - or a year ago Friday Feb 28, 2025 we UnCab. And yes it’s the buy boycott day - but UnCab is solidly a mom and pop op. As is El Cid. Get your tickets here or we are happy to take cashito at the door!
Wonderful poem! Thank you. Have a great show
