Helios

I wear your jacket now

in the absence of your arms
around me. The one you brought
once to keep me from shivering
(to keep me a while)
sitting on the dewy grass before dawn,
talking while waiting
for the sun
before realizing it was far
too cloudy to witness the
Anticipated Majestic
Daybreak.


We should have listened
to the gods
there and then.
