Nocturne in April

Leaving you asleep
in a dark room
smelling like spring
because the window
is open,
I watch the moon -
almost glowing
through the skittering clouds -
go black,
then suddenly
luminescent
and I wonder if the sky possesses
something like prescience
to know that tomorrow
it will be day.

So I go back to you,
tracing my way in the dark.
Of course it's true:
One day we too will be subtracted
by God's math -
one moment so radiant
we almost glow,
the next invisible.
But until then know
we're not divisible
by anything.
