Dust

Isabella O’Brien ‘23

i want to cradle you

like holding the moon on a delicate string in quiet melodic hours during twilight i cry tears of the ocean spilling out of my red-rimmed eyes though i feel you, you are never there i miss you like the incessant cravings of delicate marble fingers and the sky’s tones of soft violet i hope you’ll hold me, swaying, until we are nothing but dust among the fabric of the universe
