the street lamp between us

it’s a frosty night in maine

2am & 19 degrees

the only warmth i feel is the breath that surpasses my lips

i can see you in the distance 

my skin ruffles as i stride towards you 

the gap between us begins to close

i’m beneath you now &

above me you shine 

with the quietness of the light 

the subtle glow you bring to my cheeks

same paleness we both beam

i watch you lean with the wind 

my feet planted firmly to the gravel ground 

on a street with no name 

can you see me too? 

my nose begins to drip &

snowflakes start pouring down my eyes

how did i get here? 

i’m frozen in your gleam.
