__


what light fear blanches 
the alarm
the photographic
hours delay waking until 
sleep again

concede it to a grey- 
not-love, the morning calls 
with no promise 
to refresh

& weighting is beyond 
this hour, each word 
a serious intent, an 
object pain

there are only so many 
Messages of Love
I can send to you
while we are both awake 
the ocean becomes dark 
we trade symbols of hearts 
freely and in colour

— Caitlin Doherty
