What If We Fade Into The Night Sky? Poem by Windsor Guadalupe Jr

What if we fade into the night sky?
Resembling a shadow, I will only
Reveal myself during the night -
A forlorn shadow that dances with
The moon appalled
The night is treacherous,
It does not tell the secrets behind
The lamentation of the mountainside,
And the fleet of cicada that croons
The torment of the serrated grass
Slumbers as the night is tapered into
A sea of contrite.

And so if you fade into the night sky,
I will deliberately fade too - little
By little, I will slowly vanish in the night
Under the infinite sky where I used
To hold you in my arms in the immense
Night that burns inside one of your
Vacuous eyes. If we flutter away
In the night that holds no doors,
Only forked roads, I will hold no remorse
Like a flower of petulant bloom:
I will quibble over the pugnacious gods
And curse at the seas because
When the night declares that one is lost,
One will perhaps be found in the winter frost
Dissipating like a snow of inimitable sorrow.

If we fade into the night sky,
I will wander across the hills
Kneel in front of mountains
And flail under the trenches.
I will mazily inherit the Earth
As I perish in the intoxication
Of the night's soliloquized wine:
The night took you in his cold arms,
The stars shiver in their bluest distance
And the moon laughs its cruellest harlequin.
