There is no need to leave

The east-chasing breezeĀ 

Brings night to my bare skin

Red shifts to blue,

It brings daughters back home again

There is no need to leave

When breeze asks you to go

Stay and see what changes

Your skin a hand grabbing snow

The hue of chipped paint benches

becomes a canvas of black

Little nudges of mushroom couples 

Start to still and scuttle back

You might be hungry

But you will eat air like vines

Who spread their webs

To catch a taste of the line

Go, the breeze tells me

I wait there instead

Wondering where night breeze 

Stops to leave its cold head
