Drawing upon the Sky

By Nikki Quismondo

I'd like to know how you were drawing upon the sky
and the sand came to your conclusions...
where the sea had that open space between us?

This world will be aware of our absence,
when those lonely nights,
could never understand
the way your sheets want to move without me in them

what duty to yourself has brought upon a loneliness
so you will be able to chose
which movie to watch,
music to listen to?

you will only see or hear them with the sounds of my faint whispers
of who we once were....
your commitment to yourself will not give you the cooperation of your memories!
