The glow

 By day I’m a hummingbird in love 

with the sun and the garden, flitting 

from thought to thought to thought but 

after dark I turn into a woman

who sleeps in a bedroom strung

with tiny lights (my magical, secret cinema)

not to brighten my empty bed but

the glow reminds me of him 

who flutters about the room

mute as a moth escaping the night

for the remote village of our bed

just to let me know 

this remains 

his permanent destination.
