Insomnia
“Insomnia” was chosen as one of the winners of the February Poetry Challenge.
Insomnia
I cut an echoless love
in pale moonlight.
Ashes of stars slip
from my face.
You remain in a secret garden.
My shadow clings to the splitting wall.
The taste of blood edges
up my bleeding fingers.
Water rises on a lake
and the moon drowns.
