Stride
By Theresa C. Newbill


..love is not shown in the broadcasting of feelings,
but in shouting them silently to the fading moon.

If for a few still moments love bubbles in its own universe,
let me become addicted to the moon’s faraway tragedy.

I am tired of pretending, it’s true, but tell me anyway,
if words plume in lingering raindrops, then sleep in tragedy.
