8: 22 a.m.

I should be continuing a poem
About you, Camille, with lines like:
I steal moments witnessing
How your eyes, crystalline like marbles,
Reflect the colors of stained-glass butterflies
Hovering over sun-kissed ripples...

But my brain, keeper of all
Realities, all madness, all beauty,
Rests in neural slumber.

Too tired from indulging
Too much in a selfish purpose:
Imagining you as a little girl
Lost in the labyrinth of my love.

Pieces of a broken poem are swept away
In the young hours of a Monday.
