A Night Without Stars
Carefully tiptoeing every conversation.
Rethinking every word.
Watching for the flinch.
Knowing.
Waiting.
How long?
Where is tranquility?
Can she be free?
Does physical separation
belie mental
or emotional severance?
There is no darkness deeper,
no blackness bleaker,
than a night without stars.
