Relearn

Cheeks and foreheads candlelit

A possessed marbled gold

And kindled humor

Poured from lips

Of bottles and of dearest friends.

For all I've learned

From trips and constant journeys,

Insightful lonesome cities,

Barren roads,

I'm baffled.

How did I forget?

She catches my focus slipping,

Touches my hand,

And spreads the glow

That holds me here,

My loves,

A sprightful dance of 

Burning orange shadows.
