**Faceless yet familiar**

**The moon meets the sky**

**Waving to the sinking sun**

A stiff smile, quiet nod, quickened stride

You thought

We weren’t so different because

I can make out your shape

Never your name

I hear the bone of a tree

Snap under your retreat

Considering why you came

Cold without threat

Just promises to keep

Wondering how many days you can keep dreaming without sleep...
