Arm draped like a debutante’s
around her stag’s long white neck,
she’s not so school-girl gorgeous after all.

We circle her for a hint of moon as the day’s last
lean-in light sculpts its quarry: the two of us, bereft
of one another, hearts beating fast to slow
the mute recriminations of marble and fine dust.
