Nightwind (2010)

for Eleni

My window is open to you
nightwind

Oh
if you should enter to find me

zipped up 
and preparing

for the full sleep granted only to travelers--
Alone, between worlds, I am one even in my own city.

My lullabye is my own love
vast for you
warmer than even you 

night wind.
lover.

How do I move oceans, 
how do I leave continents 
for my other half, 
while my sister is without me?

But it is
this:

My love is my only lullabye
and with this much of it

how can I be lonely?
how can I be cold?
