For Relief
No matter how much I desire it,
I can watch the sunrise
but once each day.
Yet, it is the start of a craving
whenever we are separated.
You see, I have learned to value
the nourishment found
in my taste for you.
While the future is dreamable,
its content cannot not be filled
such that it slakes
my desires for you.
So,
for now,
I will seek out fields
hued in dawn’s coming rise
so that I may nurture butterflies
in their fragility.
