The nonsense of brilliance lingered

In the evergreen

Where you’d been trying to trace maps

You forgot how to read

 

Between the 

Blush of 

Sweet wine

And burnt coffee

 

Barefoot march

Through the trees

Cradle eyes

Watch over me

 

Head held high

Rosy cheeks

Starlight peels

Through bitter breeze 

 

I’ll show you places

You thought you’d lost

Soft light and faces

You cradled, forgot

 

Between the  

Raised voices calling 

Your comfort to bed 

Well stop here,

 

Sleep well,

Rest your tired head.
