i often wonder (when you close your eyes)

i often wonder (when you close your eyes)
if you can somehow still see the flickering
of the moon over our heads
and the glisten of the dew on the grass
when we frolicked long ago:

i wonder if you can see the stems of leaves
that buried us all in Autumn, the red
that took our feet and made them
crunch all the once-live covers of the trees

i wonder if you perceive the concrete
on which we danced and swooned awkwardly
until the stars told us that time was not ours

right now, i wonder if you at all caught with your eyes
the little pattern in my stanzas:

five;four;three;two;nowone (are your eyes listening?)
