"Was It Ever Really There" [by Christina Marie Lancaster]

my weight on the
            sun is too
high for me to
remember:
my weight on the
            moon is
equal to you

when the sun
            is dying
we will call it
our Red Giant:

when the moon
            dies
who will notice

who will care.

-- Christina Marie Lancaster

My broken heart heals from the beauty of these brief yet powerful lines. I can guarantee that your significance is not only noticed but cherished.

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
