We bring moments together by their ends,
clipped, woven, burned. Creating hours labeled as days.

The light from the sun during the minutes that collect
like puddles of honey at the end of a long summer,

aren’t enough to keep on illuminating during
the long nights. Nights that breath frozen fire.

The clearest of cold. Strong shoulders wait
to bear the burden of broken bodies.
