You #obfuscate your heart,
yet like moon’s silver edge,
your longings wander
the seams of nightfall,
before writing yourself across my skin.

Like stars peddling memories,
you dust me in your fragments—
half-formed notes of warmth
that dry on my heart
until shadows swallow you
once more.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

(I’ve just realised that I rarely write haiku, that I mostly write senryu. You live and learn).
