The Cosmic Widow (P)

The blackest velvet of the night


Illuminated by gods shimmering plate.


It's half empty of the heavens.


Half her face is shrouded by a veil of shadows.


The night, her long funeral dress (as long as night lasts).


Is held together by evanescent pins


Some stuck well, some long since fallen


At the corners of existence.




Serpentine clouds slither through


Wisping through her hair and past her face


Flickering as demons, faces, lovers


All eternity's memories of love.


She wanders the empty sky alone.


The cosmic widow of the night.


Ever waiting above the earth


For her solar lover to return.
