do any other cities have gum roads?
Moon Roads exist anywhere with water,
A path snaking to the horizon,
A grey pearl, outstretched.
Certain friends come and go, i long for them
For the walk home at dawn, a dusted sky, a body
I hesitate to ask this person
If they are still dying ,
My mom says,
It takes time to die, sometimes
I dream i am a menorah
Set on fire every night
