Trying out a bit of a different technique here...
~
Darkness
enfolds me
as I slip off.
The stars
catch me
and whirl me up
into a dream.

A dream,
in which you
followed me
up that tree.
You'd hear
birds chirping
and scramble
through the
branches in
hopes of
catching them
but you rarely did.

The stars
drop me
and I open
my eyes to
the darkness,
the softness of
your fur
lingering,
your name
fresh on my lips.

In that moment,
I know you
are still here
with me.

And I cry.
