Glitter

your touch
was like glitter on my skin, I still find pieces of you
everywhere.

a glimmer here
or there
on my neck where your hand
was, soft as stardust, love

did I really think it'd be this
easy to erase you from my skin? november chill and quiet moonlight shivers
fumbling hands and adrenaline
giddy whispers -- a star
like once you're gone you're never gone
completely,
empty sky but the shimmer
fades not even
