WWF: Circle of Life
Continental Drift
Somber slants of light dance across my skin.
I’ll blame the sleeplessness on them.
Once effortlessly lying next to each other,
trying to weave our bodies together,
to absorb each other’s skin
after months of agonizing absence.
I open my eyes to this empty bed and
try to void that memory from my head.
We’re in the days of absence now,
but it’s more than agony I feel.
